Svmuu News: In a report, eToro analyst Lale Akoner stated that the U.S.-Iran conflict is driving up oil prices, exacerbating inflation risks, and may keep interest rates high for an extended period. She noted that this could be bad news for bonds and assets such as real estate, utilities, and high-priced growth stocks. “Unless oil supplies face a more severe disruption, the market’s primary focus will remain on oil prices, inflation expectations, and the investment sectors most sensitive to interest rates.” (Jin Shi)
