With war escalating in the Middle East, energy prices rising, and political chaos in the US, is a global market crash going to happen? In this video, I explore the risks markets are ignoring \u2014 and why turmoil could be just around the corner.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Will stock markets crash?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pIhR8sSy8Hg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>There is no audio version of this video.<\/p>\n<p>This is the transcript:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Are we going to get a stock market crash?<\/p>\n<p>There is an obvious risk that we're going to.<\/p>\n<p>Stock markets are at record highs at the present point in time, and that's illogical.<\/p>\n<p>There has been a failure by those markets to recognise all the risks that have existed in the world.<\/p>\n<p>And now we have another war in the Middle East, but a war on a scale that we hadn't previously imagined because the USA is now involved.<\/p>\n<p>Iran is threatening to block vital supply routes for oil and gas as a result, and the consequence of that is that there will be market panic.<\/p>\n<p>Market panic with regard to the price of oil and a consequent threat of inflation can only mean one thing. We could very easily get a crash in the price of shares around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Everywhere, there's going to be inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Everywhere, there are going to be rising interest rates.<\/p>\n<p>In the USA, Trump is going to get a political backlash for what he's done.<\/p>\n<p>Investors who've ignored risk for too long are suddenly going to panic and say, \"We are in deep trouble.\"<\/p>\n<p>Inflation, war, debt and political chaos are not the situation to support global record market prices.<\/p>\n<p>A major correction in those prices was already overdue. It could now happen. I'm not saying when precisely, this is not financial advice. This is just a plain, straightforward political analysis of the realities that financial markets are facing, and the signs of panic are there.<\/p>\n<p>Prices are already rising for oil and gas, and that means that the tipping point for shares might follow soon after.<\/p>\n<p>This may be the week when stock markets wake up to the risks that they face. And if they do, turmoil could follow.<\/p>\n<p>We are living in dangerous times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is another YouTube short we have posted today: Stock markets are defying global instability \u2014 but for how long?
