IMF warns Middle East war affecting energy, trade, and financial markets globally
via IMF
The IMF has flagged the Middle East conflict as a growing risk to global energy flows, trade routes, and financial stability. Traders should prepare for continued volatility in oil, shipping costs, and emerging market currencies. Safe-haven demand (USD, CHF, gold) may persist, while equity risk appetite could weaken if the conflict widens.
