Steve Englander Discusses Market Resilience Amid West Asia Tensions and US Dollar Strength

Global markets, particularly in the US, have shown resilience amid ongoing West Asia geopolitical tensions. Steve Englander of Standard Chartered Bank noted a weakening correlation between oil prices and financial assets, with US equities remaining robust and Israeli equities near all-time highs. The US dollar has strengthened against major currencies, driven more by equity performance and corporate earnings than oil prices. Both sides in the conflict appear hesitant to escalate, influencing market stability.
