Why the real market risk now is geopolitics

UAE’s pullback from OPEC+ coordination is unlikely to meaningfully move oil in the near term, with geopolitical tensions expected to outweigh any supply signal. After recent market rallies, investors are warned that easy gains may be fading. With the Fed unlikely to pivot soon, earnings and Middle East risks are likely to steer sentiment, favoring select themes like AI capex plus select energy and healthcare.
