Israel attack: How will the investment market be affected?!
Israel, the most important country in the Middle east, continues to carry out severe attacks on the Palestinian people and the countries that support them and on the rebels. As a result, not only the ongoing tension in the Middle east but also trade and investment have affected everything. In this situation, more than 490 people have been killed in the Israeli army's attack on lebanon on Monday. As a result, a large part of lebanon is not only showing bloodshed, but people are losing their homes, families, and belongings. Yesterday's attack was the worst since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war. Lebanese authorities say more than 90 of the 490 dead in lebanon were women and children. Now let's see how economic damage will be caused by Israel's attack on Lebanon.
Socio-Economic Impact: While there have been fears of a major escalation in the Israel-Gaza war involving neighboring countries such as iran and Hezbollah insurgents for weeks, the risk of a new attack by the Israeli military has increased. This will greatly affect the economic impact of both israel and Lebanon. Market analysts have warned that a war with israel could turn Iran's economy upside down, with iran already suffering from Western sanctions. Lebanon's economy, already reeling from years of political instability, will data-face the worst impact from an Israeli attack. Similarly, if the Israel-Gaza war escalates, the wider economies of the Middle east and North Africa will also suffer. Israel's economic growth, already slowing due to the Gaza war, is expected to pick up to just 1.5% in 2024 and 4.2% in 2025. But Israel's economy could suffer further as war fears continue to rise in the region.
Due to this war, many goods and services from agricultural products to crude oil to technology will be affected in the international market. And investors have started to move towards the exchange market, especially after the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates, and excess investment left the Middle east after the lebanon attack. Especially the supply of crude oil from iran to india will be affected, similarly, the war tension in the Middle east countries will also affect the international oil market.
