Deep Tide TechFlow message: On July 14, eToro analyst Lale Akoner said in a report that the U.S.-Iran war is pushing up oil prices, increasing inflation risks, and may keep interest rates at high levels for the long term. She noted that this could be bad news for assets such as bonds and real estate, as well as utilities and high-priced growth stocks. “Unless oil supply is hit even more severely, the market’s biggest focus will still be on oil prices, inflation expectations, and the investment areas most sensitive to interest rates.” (Jin10)
