U.S. stocks rebound as investors brush off Middle East tensions
GEOPOLITICAL FEARS FADE AS FUNDAMENTALS AND POSITIONING SUPPORT RISK
U.S. stocks bounced back Friday as investors looked past Middle East tensions, driven by historically low equity positioning and resilient fundamentals.
According to Tom Essaye, founder of The Sevens Report, markets are focused on geopolitical headlines, but remain stable as long as conflict stays limited.
“Focus will remain on geopolitical headlines, but as long as the conflict stays limited between Israel and Iran, it’s unlikely to materially impact the markets.”
