⚡ Quantum Brief
Global stock markets plunged sharply on Tuesday as escalating Middle East tensions spurred investor panic, with energy prices surging amid fears of prolonged conflict. South Korea’s ETF led losses, dropping 12% this week, while South Africa, Greece, and the UAE each fell over 8%, marking the hardest-hit country funds. The downturn follows a US/Israel strike on Iran, which triggered a spike in energy costs and broader market instability, deepening losses from Monday’s sell-off. Investors are fleeing risk assets as geopolitical uncertainty intensifies, with no immediate signs of de-escalation in the region to stabilize markets. Analysts warn prolonged conflict could further disrupt global equities, particularly in energy-dependent and trade-sensitive economies.
