PEACE AT LAST? WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH INVESTING?

The four days starting with President Trump’s decision to bomb Iran’s nuclear sites and ending with President Trump engineering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran is beneficial short term (fewer people are killed from either side) but clearly tentative. The immediate speculative impact as judged by the commodity markets are:

  1. Stock market up slightly

  2. US Interest rates flat to slightly lower

  3. Japanese JGB flat

  4. BUT, Crude oil - a major drop back toward the lows of @ 60 per barrel
