⚡ Quantum Brief
Global investors have drastically cut economic growth forecasts by the most in four years, according to Bank of America’s latest fund manager survey, citing escalating fallout from the Iran conflict. Inflation expectations surged to nearly five-year highs, per BofA strategists, as geopolitical tensions disrupt supply chains and energy markets, exacerbating cost pressures. Investor sentiment turned sharply bearish, reaching its lowest point since June 2025, reflecting deepening pessimism over global stability and financial market resilience. The survey highlights a rapid shift in allocations, with fund managers reducing equity exposure and increasing cash holdings amid heightened uncertainty and risk aversion. Analysts warn prolonged conflict could further destabilize markets, with inflation and growth volatility likely to persist unless geopolitical tensions ease.
