The conflict in the Middle East intensified this week, resulting in broad-based market instability and a drop in global equities. This week, Sophia Mavridis sits down with Bell Financial Group’s CIO Will Riggall, to unpack how markets historically respond to geopolitical shocks, and how investors can position themselves to navigate this challenging period.

In this week’s video, Will and Sophia cover:

  • a final look back on reporting season – the key takeaways
  • the surge in oil and gas prices and its broader economic impact
  • which sectors provide opportunities for investors
  • Bell Potter’s strategy for managing volatility and minimising risk.
