Investors Should Retain Long-Term Perspective Amid Middle East Conflict -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-02

0245 GMT - Investors shouldn't panic and instead retain a long-term perspective despite the ongoing Middle East conflict, says OCBC's Afdhal Rahman in a note. While the knee-jerk market reaction is likely to be "understandably risk off," he notes geopolitical developments seldom have a lasting effect on markets unless there is significant economic fallout. A key factor would be the speed at which the conflict is resolved, he says, adding that the Trump administration has an incentive to keep the conflict brief ahead of an upcoming midterm election. Oil prices are also likely to be contained given supply from OPEC+, he adds.(megan.cheah@wsj.com)
