GLOBAL ALERT - Earthquakes and tsunami risk - what does this have to do with the economy?
In the last 48 hours, signs of strong seismic activity have been recorded in critical areas such as:
đ Russia (Kamchatka Peninsula)
đ Japan (Pacific region)
đ West Coast of the USA
There are alerts of possible tsunamis in highly populated and industrialized zones.
But what does this have to do with the global economy?
âïž DOMINO EFFECT: WHEN NATURE IMPACTS MARKETS
Disruption of supply chains
â Japan is a key player in the semiconductor, automotive, and shipping industries.
â The USA handles a significant portion of Pacific trade.
â Russia has a strategic geopolitical and energy role.
Increase in commodity prices
â Oil, gas, wheat, and precious metals tend to rise in light of logistical risks.
â Investors rush to protective assets: gold, dollar, bitcoin.
Flight to safety from markets
â Stock markets tend to experience strong volatility in the short term;
â Geographical risk adds to the already existing global political and economic tension.
Reinforcement of the decentralization and antifragility thesis
â Crypto assets and reserves outside of major banks come back into focus;
â Stocks and assets in emerging countries or safe zones may gain strength.
We are living in an era where geopolitical, climatic, and tectonic events are connecting with unprecedented speed to the financial market.
An investor who ignores this type of signal is vulnerable.
What seems like a "distant news" today may affect your portfolio tomorrow.
Stay alert. Stay liquid. Stay antifragile.
