Episode 117 | Timely perspective on turmoil in the Middle East

When tensions rise in the Middle East, the effects often show up quickly not only in energy

prices, but also in the costs of other goods and services. That’s why the turmoil now

unfolding in that part of the world is worrisome to consumers and investors alike.

In this episode of Investments Unplugged, hosts Kevin Headland and Macan Nia frame

today’s Middle East conflict in the context of past geopolitical events and examine its

current dynamics, including developments in the key Strait of Hormuz. They also discuss

potential investment implications around market volatility, cash deployment, fixed income,

and portfolio diversification.
