Season 5 Episode 12 – Volatility is News Driven
Welcome to episode 12 of the #AtlasWeeklyRecap podcast – Volatility is News Driven. Financial Planners, Martin Jack and Shaun Fairon unpack a volatile period for global markets, driven largely by fast-moving geopolitical developments surrounding the US–Iran conflict.
Market movements were not random, but a direct response to shifting headlines—from early fears of energy supply disruption and military escalation, to a brief mid-week rebound on signs of diplomacy, before renewed tensions weighed on markets into Friday.
Oil prices remained the key driver throughout, fuelling inflation concerns and influencing both equity markets and bond yields globally. Despite the uncertainty, overall equity market declines remained relatively contained, with Australia showing resilience.
Looking ahead, the base case remains a contained escalation, though ongoing disruption to oil markets continues to pose the greatest risk to global economic stability.
