James St. Aubin Shares Commentary on Market Response to Geopolitical Risks

MarketWatch

Threats of Iranian retaliation against Israel once again sparked a selloff in stocks.

Reports that Israel is bracing for an imminent attack by Iran sparked a scramble for safety across markets on Friday, inspiring traders to dump stocks in favor of Treasury bonds, gold and the U.S. dollar.

The selloff was initially driven by a report in the Wall Street Journal that said Israel was bracing for an Iranian strike that could arrive as soon as Friday or Saturday. It bore a strong resemblance to the market reaction on April 4, which caused stocks to plunge in afternoon trading on a similar warning from Israel.
