About this event
The conflict reshaping the Middle East has disrupted historical relationships between oil prices and regional markets, created new supply-chain vulnerabilities, and raised the potential of global stagflation shock. In this one-hour webinar, MSCI's research and analytics experts will walk through what the data is telling us - and how institutional investors may assess risk.
Topics covered include:
- Why the Iran conflict has decoupled GCC equity markets from oil price moves
- How to identify and quantify supply-chain exposure to the conflict zone
- An analytical multi-asset framework for navigating geopolitical shocks and oil supply disruption
- Scenario analysis framework assessing the risk of a stagflation outcome across asset classes
Whether you manage equities, fixed income, real assets, or a multi-asset portfolio, this session will provide the analytical tools and frameworks to stress-test your exposures and position for a range of outcomes.
