Iran’s attack on Israel ‘front of mind’ for markets

CommSec’s Tom Piotrowski says Iran’s attack on Israel is “front of mind” for markets. There are growing calls for restraint as the world reacts to Iran’s aerial bombardment of Israel. It is Tehran’s first-ever direct attack on its neighbour. “This is an issue that’s front of mind for markets and, indeed, was one of the factors that informed the performance of US markets at the weekend,” Mr Piotrowski told Sky News Australia. “You had the S&P500 fall by one and a half per cent, the Nasdaq down 1.6 per cent, and the Dow was down 1.2 per cent.” Presented by CommSec.
