Economists warn that if tensions persist, businesses may delay investments, hiring could slow, and consumer spending—a key driver of economic expansion—may contract. 

What’s Next for Investors?
Market participants are bracing for further volatility as they await:

While a negotiated resolution could stabilize markets, the escalating conflict raises the specter of a broader economic slowdown. Investors are advised to reassess their portfolios, favoring defensive stocks, gold, and bonds while reducing exposure to trade-sensitive sectors.
