Geopolitical Changes and Market Impacts

Recent developments in Syria have resulted in a significant shift in power dynamics, with the Assad regime being toppled after years of civil war. This change has raised questions about its impact on global markets, particularly regarding oil prices. While there has been a slight increase in oil, it may not be solely due to these geopolitical events. The situation hints at a broader trend of diminished geopolitical risk, particularly concerning Iran, which has lost influence in the region and is struggling to maintain its alliances.
