“Geopolitical Risk and Market Resilience”
See what we have to say about the following:

 

 

 

• Geopolitical Risk and Market Resilience
  Despite heightened uncertainty from the Iran conflict and energy supply risks, historical market data show equities typically experience manageable drawdowns and recover within months when economic fundamentals remain supportive.

 

• Earnings Still Drive Stock Prices
  Strong and improving earnings expectations—particularly in technology and energy—continue to support stocks, reinforcing the historical relationship between double‑digit earnings growth and positive market returns.

 

• Valuations and Technical Backdrop
  The recent pullback has lowered valuations while technical indicators suggest markets are stabilizing, with the 200‑day moving average representing a key level for confirming a durable recovery.

 

• STAAC Asset Allocation Commentary
  STAAC remains neutral on equities while anticipating continued volatility, favoring growth and large caps, selectively overweighting certain sectors, and staying alert for opportunities to add equity risk once conditions improve.
