Investor sentiment can be influenced by global events. A prolonged conflict can erode investor confidence, potentially leading to a decline in stock values. However, market reactions can be temporary, and many factors, such as economic data and corporate earnings, also play roles in determining market direction. One example is $Netflix(NFLX)$ , which we witnessed its stock price rising 16% after earnings report.

While this conflict is centered in the Middle East, it can have a global impact. Companies with exposure to the affected region may experience disruptions in their operations, potentially affecting their stock prices. Furthermore, international markets are interconnected, so what happens in one region can reverberate globally.
In conclusion, it's essential for investors to stay informed about global events and their potential impact on the stock market. While conflicts like the one in Gaza can lead to increased volatility and short-term market reactions, it's important to remember that markets tend to recover over time. Diversification and a long-term investment strategy are often recommended to help navigate turbulent periods in the market.
