US stocks fluctuated, and oil prices surged amid escalating US-Iran tensions.
This week, geopolitical news significantly impacted the US stock market and oil prices. Increased tensions in the Middle East, particularly between the US and Iran, caused WTI oil prices to surge due to concerns about supply disruptions. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 indices experienced significant volatility, reflecting global investor risk aversion.
- Signal: Negative
- Impacts: AMD, CNBC, WTI, OPEC, UAE
- Assessment: Geopolitical volatility is causing a shift in capital flows towards safe-haven assets and negatively impacting energy, transportation, and heavy industry stocks. In the short term, oil and gas stocks may benefit from rising oil prices, but risks of recession and inflation control make the long-term trend difficult to predict. Investors should consider reducing their holdings in high-risk macroeconomic stocks and focusing on stocks with stable fundamentals. Portfolio risk management is becoming more important in the current period.
Gold prices are approaching $5,000/oz, while silver prices have surpassed $100/oz.
Precious metal prices maintained their strong upward momentum in Friday's trading session (January 23), with gold, silver, and platinum all reaching new record highs. The main factors driving the surge were concerns about long-term inflation, economic recession, and the safe-haven demand from international capital flows. Large ETFs like SPDR continued to increase their holdings of physical gold and silver, pushing prices to unprecedented levels.
- Signal: Neutral
- Impact on: SPDR, HSBC
- Analysis: The sharp increase in gold and silver prices reflects the demand for hedging against global economic risks, but it could also put pressure on stock market liquidity. In the short term, precious metal mining and processing stocks may benefit. In the long term, this trend could signal prolonged potential inflation. Investors need to carefully assess the risks from interest rate fluctuations and monetary policy. A good hedging strategy is to allocate a portion of the portfolio to gold ETFs or precious metal stocks, while closely monitoring CPI data and central bank interest rate policies.
