Iran's attack forces portfolio reset, and the market falls into unknown chaos.

Gate News bot message, as military escalations in the Middle East intensify, global markets are increasingly volatile, and inflation concerns are heightened, leading to greater industry turmoil. Nigel Green, CEO of financial consultancy Devere Group, stated on June 22 that President Donald Trump's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities are fundamentally changing investor expectations.

Green stated: "The U.S. strike on Iran's nuclear facilities is a key moment determining market trends." He emphasized that this directly undermined the assumption that has driven investors' positions all along: declining inflation rates, falling interest rates, and stable energy prices. This framework has now been shattered.

As the market reopens, investors are preparing for extreme volatility, and rising oil prices have sparked a reassessment of inflation forecasts. Due to fears of retaliation from Iran and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, Brent crude prices are facing further increases. Analysts are currently warning that oil prices could soar to $130 per barrel, depending on Iran's response.

Green warned: "This price shock will affect global inflation, which remains high and/or strong in many regions."

He added that the expected interest rate cuts by central banks such as the Federal Reserve may no longer be feasible: "The continuous surge in oil prices makes it very difficult to justify rate cuts. If inflation rises again, policymakers will be forced to keep interest rates unchanged and may even reconsider the easing cycle."
