Macro Insights Livestream, March 2026: Middle East conflict and global implications,

Описание: A major regional conflagration is underway with Israel and the US attacking Iran with a view to change its regime. Retaliation from Iran continues, even though the regime is in a very weak state with the ongoing leadership decapitation campaign and economic crisis. Beyond the risk of attacks on countries hosting US bases and likely attempt to close the Straits of Hormuz, one cannot rule out a protracted civil war, with forces of breaking up Iran gathering momentum. This could have major regional implications, from Iraq to Turkey. In this call, we will discuss the geopolitical and asset market implications. Senior rates strategist Eugene Leow, senior currency strategist Philip Wee, and senior currency/credit strategist Chang Wei Liang will join me in this call.
