⚡ Quantum Brief
Investors are rapidly shifting assets from stocks and bonds to cash amid escalating geopolitical risks tied to the Iran war, mirroring the market reaction to Russia’s 2022 Ukraine invasion. Fund managers’ cash holdings surged at the fastest pace in six years, according to Bank of America’s March survey, signaling heightened risk aversion and liquidity preferences. JPMorgan strategists warn the repositioning may accelerate further as the conflict’s economic fallout remains unpredictable, potentially prolonging market volatility. The exodus from equities and fixed income reflects fears of broader financial contagion, echoing post-2022 trends when global markets faced similar uncertainty. Analysts suggest the cash influx could persist until geopolitical tensions ease, delaying recovery in riskier asset classes.
