Financial markets have been forced to adjust rapidly and with heightened volatility - will trade negotiations bring meaningful stability, or are they simply a pause in an escalating trade war?

With recent events including geopolitical instability and inflation concerns, risk appetite is at the forefront of our minds. What should institutional investors be doing to balance risk and opportunity in the coming months?

Last week’s (Wednesday 16th April) CPI (Consumer Price Index) revealed a decline in inflation to 2.6%, down from 2.8% in February, landing below the BoE’s forecast of 2.7%. Core CPI, which excludes energy and food, eased slightly to 3.4%, down from 3.5% the previous month.

Asian equities slumped sharply as the escalating conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran continued to rattle markets. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell more than 4%, its steepest drop in almost a year, while South Korea’s Kospi plunged around 12% in its biggest-ever single-day decline after being one of the world’s best-performing markets earlier this year.

Stocks extended their selloff as the conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran intensified, pushing oil higher and reviving inflation concerns. S&P 500 futures fell 0.9% and Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 1.1%, with European futures also pointing sharply lower.

Stocks sold off and oil prices jumped as conflict in the Middle East jolted global markets, triggering a broad retreat from risk assets. US–Israeli strikes on Iran resulted in the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
