Hey, You! Let’s Talk About Last Week’s Rollercoaster of Emotions 😲
It all started so promisingly…
Last week, the risk sentiment started on a positive note at the beginning of the week due to the lack of a ground offensive in Gaza. We all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking we might actually get a break from the constant turmoil and unrest.
But then things took a turn for the worse 😬
Unfortunately, things went south from Wednesday onwards as Israeli PM Netanyahu delivered a speech where he said that they were preparing for a ground invasion. The tension in the air was palpable, and suddenly the stability we thought we had was shattered.
And the hits just kept on coming…
As if that wasn’t enough, the US Jobless Claims data on Thursday showed another big miss in Continuing Claims, which might be an indication that the labour market is weakening. It felt like the universe was conspiring against us, piling on more bad news with each passing day.
Bracing ourselves for what comes next…
On Friday, the risk sentiment deteriorated even further, leaving us on edge and wondering what other curveballs life had in store for us. The uncertainty hung heavy in the air, and we could do nothing but hold our breath and wait.
How does this all affect me personally?
As an individual, the events of last week have left me feeling unsettled and anxious about the future. The constant fluctuations in risk sentiment and the growing uncertainty in the world have made me question my own stability and security.
How does this all affect the world at large?
On a global scale, the events of last week have highlighted the fragility of the current geopolitical climate and the interconnectedness of our world. The ripple effects of each piece of news and each decision made by world leaders can be felt far and wide, creating a web of uncertainty and tension that impacts us all.
