Season 5 Episode 8 – Oil Price Surge

 

In this episode of the #AtlasWeeklyRecap podcast, Atlas Wealth Group’s Financial Planners, Martin Jack and Shaun Fairon discuss how rising geopolitical tensions and an oil price surge are driving a clear rotation across global markets. US equities softened amid concerns around AI valuations and Iran-linked risks, while Europe, Japan and China outperformed as investors shifted away from concentrated US tech exposure.

Australia was a standout, with the ASX reaching a new high and delivering its strongest February since 2019, supported by improving earnings expectations led by mining and banks. Bond yields eased, reflecting slower growth expectations and elevated uncertainty.

With oil moving above US$70 and the risk of further escalation in the region, volatility remains a key theme. Investors should remain focused on quality, earnings resilience and global diversification as markets navigate an increasingly complex environment.
