About this episode
The episode explores the impact of geopolitical tensions on global markets and the psychology of investors during uncertain times.
In this episode of Swiss View , Jess Roberson and Urs Droese take a timely deep dive into how global markets and economies are reacting to the escalating conflict with Iran. As geopolitical tensions intensify, financial markets have been anything but calm. From sharp rises in oil prices to increased volatility across equities and bonds, the ripple effects are being felt worldwide. Energy markets in particular have surged amid supply fears, while broader markets have swung between resilience and risk-off sentiment as investors reassess the global outlook.

How do emotions shape decision-making when headlines drive sudden market moves? And what patterns tend to emerge when uncertainty becomes the dominant force? Blending macroeconomic insights with behavioral finance, this episode offers listeners a clear, grounded perspective on navigating turbulence—whether you're a seasoned investor or simply trying to make sense of a rapidly changing world. Tune in for a thoughtful conversation on risk, resilience…
