Likely Impact of Israel and Iran Military Action Against Each Other

As you may have seen, Israel attacked Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure on Thursday and then on Friday night, Iran reciprocated.  Whilst the World appears every angrier with conflict popping up in many regions, what is the likely impact on your money.

• Stock markets have fallen and will fall next early next week.
• Oil prices have started to rise.
• This means energy, heating and fuel pump prices will rise.
• This means UK military and Oil stocks will rise on higher profits.
• Inflation will hold or likely increase.

Comment

As ever, we see this as an investment opportunity.

• For those that are drip feeding into markets, this is good news.
• For those still sat with ‘opportunity’ cash funds, there may be an opportunity to buy in at a lower price.

That said, these are volatile times and Trump tariffs are still looming for all, it may even mean larger falls to markets.  Should you lock in recent gains?
