As the situation in the Levant continue to degrade, the situation is going to ripple out in many unfortunate ways. Although we as a company are not suited to have any insight on the situation, something to inform how you should feel about the situation, we can make some predictions on how this will affect the world in a material way.
The US has always been in support of Israel in its endeavors, for better or for worse. And in turn, because most countries in the Middle East have opposed Israel on an existential and political level. Most likely, this will lead to political and economic push back from these countries. In addition, counties like Russia, and by extension China, are motivated to join in for the sake of political leverage. This will likely lead to an increase in the price of commodities such as gas, as the biggest exporters try to apply force to the USA. In addition, we will probably see a growth in the division of our nation as politicians argue about which side to support. Naturally, this will cause uncertainty in the market leading to people being conservative about their purchases and investors to "cash out" as the value of their equity dangles in the balance. What all of this leads to is an uncertain future in which no one will be fully happy with what happens.
