Global markets brace for fallout as Middle East tensions rise

[DT_MEMBER]

The Israeli-Hamas war has sharpened focus on rising geopolitical risks for financial markets, as investors wait to see if the conflict draws in other countries with the potential to drive up oil prices further and deal a fresh blow to the world economy.

If the oil supply and price will increase in the cause of the isreal and Palestine war it will be an influence from outside both countries because they are not regarded as oil producing countries. Few days ago, the Arab countries pledged support for Palestine and those kind of influence are what could lead to such shortage in supply of oil and increase in price and yesterday there was a little increase in oil price which could be as a result of the pledge both countries are already having because US also are making statement to support isreal despite they having military strength to defend and prosecute the war. So, more or less it may lead to another NATO interference and of course sanctions will fly here and thereby causing oil price to keep surging.

Israel and Hamas keeps fighting in the background for a long time and so Russia and Ukraine until now. Israel nor Hamas is not a major oil supplier of oil. Their tension too is not that massive since Israel is just dealing with the terrorist group that is now shielding against civilians. It’s a pretty one-sided war which is not that huge to create serious demand the world economy.

Unless big country will join to a proxy war then it’s really a one hell of a war that will shake the global economy.

You are right. I also think this war has little effect on the economy on a global scale. Even if some big players start a proxy war with each other in palestain there won't be much effect because they are not big exporters of any essential elements. The Russia-Ukraine war has massive effect on the global economy because Russia is a big player in the oil, mineral, and wheat export market. None of these are valid for israile and hamas wars.

With my economic brain, the impact of the Israel-Hama escalation would not affect the world like that of the Russia-Ukraine war if it didn't expand to other countries in the region. The two main commodities from the Middle East that the world needs are Gold and Crude oil which is why their prices are moving Northwards till the market closes on Friday.

The current prices are still very much acceptable as they are not yet at their ATHs. In case the war escalates as well, I believe the OPEC gauge would only be set aside and those oil-producing nations with higher capacity would increase pumping. This will not affect the world's production and manufacturing.

However, Gold is not a necessity for daily living and production, it's just a store of value and a show of luxury. The world can do without it.

The conflict in the Middle East has never subsided, but as stated by several people in this forum, the turmoil in the Middle East did not have a serious impact on the global economy, in contrast to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine which had a very big impact. affect the economy. world.

However, on humanitarian grounds, I really hope that the conflict in the Middle East can soon subside, so that every country can gain its own independence and everyone can live in peace and tranquility. So that the economic activities of each country can run smoothly.

I guess the effect will be is that the Middle East will turn into another ground for war. Meaning, collectively as a Muslim, they will have to take sides, and obviously we know where they will be siding on this one, so it will be a regional war that could drag for years and so the death toll would rise.

Although there is a brief increased on the price of the oil as reported here, Oil prices jump more than 4% in the wake of Hamas attack on Israel. So that's already a bad news.

Hopefully they can go and find a peaceful negotiations with nation in the middle or a truce should be in effect.

That’s what is hoped and that’s what US hopes to prevent by sending clear messages of there undiluted support for as an Ally of Israel and hopes Gaza is been left to themselves through this crisis and that no other nation sees it for an opportunity to exploit the situation into a money making market.
Rough maps are been drawn to create possible relativism between some of the great nations of our world and I’m referring to US and Russia to have some connections exclusively on either side of the crisis. I don’t hope to see any reasons to it but, it’s unlikely the Israel and Gaza war would take long or have any great impact on the world economy.
I feel Gaza would be the most affected in this as you can see how they’ve been under fire since the start of this war and Israel aren’t giving much soft landing.

Lol it's as if these mofos from Israel are thinking they are in the right. They've denied Palestine the rights to lands that they should've owned as early as 2 years after the second World War and now they are playing it off as if Palestine's the one that is oppressing them. It's stupid and all funny at the same time lol.

As for oil prices, it's due time we find a new resource to use, I believe the series of wars we're getting right now are going to be an eye opener as to just flimsy this oil-based economy is in the face of an uncaring world. Could probably even usher in a new age of renewable energy, Idk, but there's bound to be something good to happen after the dust has settled.

I think as soon as possible and everyone also has the same hope. Let's look at the market reaction for a moment and indeed The world is seeing increasing levels of uncertainty the question is will the Market be nervous at the prospect? If we believe in Bitcoin as an asset, we should continue to hold it. meaning as political and economic issues develop, which I think will bring more institutional investors into the domain to balance their portfolios.

One of the key goals of this "proctect" is precisely to destabilize the Middle East. This is a war in Israel by the hands of the Hamas creatures and their collaborators. The second is to destabilize the world economy. The third is to destabilize the US economy. All three goals are very necessary for the "puppeteers" who control Hamas. They don't care about Hamas, they don't care about the people of Palestine, they want CHAOS. Everyone knows the names of the customers, but officially we will learn about it a little later. Chaos allows to "deactivate" the world legislation, get economic trump cards (for example - rising oil/gas prices), become almost unpunished in their actions and plans. The world is indeed seriously affected by the tumor of terror, which has gone beyond local problems to the format of a worldwide one. A bit reminiscent of the Soviet theory launched by Lenin - "red terror", I recommend to familiarize yourself with the roots of world terror and controlled terrorism, and what are its goals?

The current situation in the Middle East. Never mind wars between countries, wars between brothers still often occur, where the war subsides for a while but in just a few months the war rages again. and this is because people in the Middle East have not been able to fully accept differences and diversity so that disputes and conflicts continue to occur.

Although there is a brief increased on the price of the oil as reported here, Oil prices jump more than 4% in the wake of Hamas attack on Israel. So that's already a bad news.

You are right about that, if the war between Palestine and Israel continues to rage and the conflict escalates to a more powerful proxy, then at least this war will affect the supply of crude oil which will ultimately result in an increase in world oil prices.

Hopefully they can go and find a peaceful negotiations with nation in the middle or a truce should be in effect.

This conflict has been going on for too long and this conflict has claimed too many victims. So, I really look forward to firm action from the UN on the conflict, such as the UN should punish Russia for starting the conflict and carrying out a ceasefire against Ukraine.

Oil is one commodity that affects price of many other items positively/negatively as transport is always factored into cost , and now having Oil prices going up again because of current tensions as if the Russia - Ukraine war wasn't enough... we in for a rude shock, brace yourselves.

I know these tensions in Gaza have been happening for a very longtime, but is it possible that there could be an invisible hand arm twisting one or two people just so prices could go up as they are financial beneficiaries from Oil sales
Otherwise with most countries already experiencing high inflation rates and now Oil going up, most economies will shake that's for sure.

Oil prices going up is what is expected to happen if the war continues. Since the occupation of Gaza is supported by the US, the Oil countries in the Middle East will also support Palestine.

Israel blocks water and electricity to Gaza, the Oil countries might also stop sending oil to Israel as tension arises. So definitely they are going to be spill over of the war there as we have heard already on the news about Syria and Lebanon.

While the most recent war is not having the same economic effects than the ones we saw when Russia invaded Ukraine, the real problem is that now we have yet another conflict which will bring uncertainty to the world economy, which may allow other actors to try to take advantage of the turmoil in order to launch their own offensive wars or to try to destabilize the world economy even further, and neither of those two possibilities are good for anyone.

From what I have seen in the news today, it seems to me that Hamas is becoming desperate in their fight against Israel because it is encouraging other countries that hate Israel to attack, and it can be said that this leader of Hamas is shameless and heartless. He really doesn't care if there are sensitive, innocent people in the country he is in charge of.

And from what I can see, other countries are not listening to his persuasion either. But I really hope it doesn't reach our country, even though we are far away from there, so I hope it doesn't affect our products here. You know what war is like when it really has an effect.

The Palestinians are beating the terrorist organization known as Israel and its aftershocks is hitting the energy market. Oil price has already gone up but the more important energy source that may be overlooked is gas. There are pipelines that run through that region from the occupied Palestine and elsewhere, some of which exported elsewhere. On top of that there are semi-reliable sources that talk about Qatar having sent messages through private channels to stop gas exports entirely. This is all affecting the gas supply, specifically for Europe that already suffers from supply shortage if they want to restart the large number of industries and small businesses that shut down over the past year.

[DrBeer]

We all know exactly who's behind this. And what ONE of the goals is. It is simple - to destabilize the oil market (the region is very much affected by this), and to try to save their own hides, and continue to terrorize the world. But the world is not as simple as in the fantasies of those who staged the terrorist massacre in Israel.....

Oil cheapens amid hopes of easing U.S. sanctions against Venezuela
17.10.2023 SINGAPUR, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Oil prices stabilized on Tuesday, having shed more than $1 the previous day, amid hopes the United States will ease U.S. sanctions against Venezuela as Washington stepped up efforts to prevent escalating tensions in the Middle East.

Brent crude futures rose 0.12% to $89.76 per barrel by 09:13 MSC, while WTI crude fell 0.06% to $86.61 per barrel.

Venezuela's government and opposition are set to resume long-suspended talks on Tuesday, a move that could lead to an easing of sanctions from Washington, several sources said.

Now the world needs to unite to fight a new massive, and very dangerous, evil - state-sponsored, worldwide terrorism run by a couple of rogue nations. I believe in the victory of reason, progress, developed humanity and civilized world!

I think restraint will be shown, as there is a lot more damage that can be done among all the countries in the region and there will be no good outcome for any of them. What needs to happen is the hostages being released as only cowards target civilians in such a manner and it's going to end up much worse for Hamas in the long run if they think that is somehow a bargaining chip. If any of the hostages were to die, or even a lot of them, then the collective West will strongly back any attack by Israel. Mass murdering civilians on the street has really lowered Hamas' really shitty reputation already. If they want to fight, engage the military in battle - don't attack defenseless women and children.

Of course the crisis will one way or the other try to affect the price of oil at the international market and the world economy at large.
 more countries across the globe are still struggling to survive the economic shock that was caused by the Russia and Ukraine war, where it has caused shortage of supply of gas to Europe, the shortage of supply  of grains and the general multiplier effects of inflation that is currently ravaging the world economy. It is an ugly situation globally at its stands now. Prime minister Benjamin netanyahu is making those vows because the situation has gone out of hand, more like the war has already started proper. I feel is not too late for all leaders across the world to continue to push for a ceasefire at this point in time, because you have look at the economic impact and the humanitarian impact of some of this crisis, the world economy cannot stress itself any longer.
