    In this 155th episode of the On Investors' Minds podcast, Tai Hui gives an update on the just announced U.S.-Iran agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and the immediate market reaction of leaning risk-on.  With key parties confirming a deal and a formal ceremony expected on Friday in Switzerland, momentum looks real - but still fragile, with the hardest parts, such as proving its safe, rebuilding flows, and gauging how long the peace process holds to come.  Will insurers, and shipping firms adjust back to "normal"?  How is the near-term outlook for energy, inflation, and global growth?  Listen now to Tai to get up to date and find out what this all means for investors.   The J.P.

    Scenario planning on the Middle East conflict

    In this 153rd episode of the On Investors' Minds podcast, Tai Hui dives into possible outcomes of the current ongoing Middle East conflict between the U.S. and Iran.  Although there are plenty of complex factors to consider, three clear scenarios around the Strait of Hormuz are most probable: i.) a near term reopening (our base case), ii.) an extended closure, and iii.) a worst-case deterioration with sustained damage to energy infrastructure.  How would interest rates, equities, bonds, currency, and hedges behave in each scenario?  Listen now to Tai for a concise, client-ready checklist that turns geopolitics into decision points - so "cash is the only answer" doesn't become the default.   The J.P.
