Oil Price Surge Sparks Global Portfolio Warning
The Middle East conflict has sent shockwaves through global markets after Iran launched ballistic missiles at American forces, prompting retaliatory strikes by U.S. and Saudi jets targeting Iran-backed sites in Iraq.
Nigel Green, CEO of the deVere Group, warned that this oil price surge is not just a market event but a clear signal for global investment portfolios.
The Brent crude price surged past $86 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate climbed above $82, triggering fears of supply bottlenecks and broader instability in a region that remains the linchpin of global energy markets.
