    Macro Monday Ep114: Markets show resilience despite the conflict

    A comparison between the first 50 days of the current war with Iran and the first 50 days of the Gulf War of the early 1990s, shows that markets have been more resilient this time around. Recent earnings numbers, notes Chris Holdsworth, Chief Investment Strategist, at Investec Wealth & Investment International, have been resilient as well, and not just in the US – countries like Taiwan, SA, Brazil and South Korea are all set to record strong profit growth this year.
