Edmund Shing, Chief Investment Officer and Guy Ertz, Chief Investment Advisor, at BNP Paribas Wealth Management, discuss the impact of escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Israel-Gaza tensions have been evident since October 2023, so not a new situation;
Global diplomatic efforts have intensified in an effort to avoid escalation of tensions;
Brent crude oil price around $90/barrel already incorporates a substantial geopolitical risk premium, but which has not increased of late;
Gold prices continue to rise towards $2400/ounce, but driven not by investor safe-haven demand, rather by central bank and Chinese consumer buying;
Previous periods of regional conflict have had a surprisingly limited and short-term impact on global financial markets historically;
Bigger impact on markets thus far has rather come from upside US inflation and growth surprises pushing US Treasury yields and US dollar higher, pressuring stock markets after a strong 6-month advance

Les actions battent-elles vraiment le cash ?
Dans ce podcast, Guy Ertz, Chief Investment Advisor et Édouard Desbonnets, Senior Investment Strategist chez BNP Paribas Wealth Management, comparent les performances du Cash et des marchés actions :
1990-2020 : la plupart des actions individuelles n’ont pas battu le cash !
Alors que les marchés boursiers ont largement surperformé les obligations et les liquidités
Très peu d’actions très performantes créent cette surperformance boursière à long terme
Ces actions proviennent de nombreux secteurs, notamment la santé, la technologie et les semi-conducteurs et la consommation discrétionnaire.
La plupart des investisseurs ont intérêt à bénéficier d’une exposition largement diversifiée aux fonds d’actions et aux ETF.

Do Stocks really beat Cash?
In this podcast, Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer at BNP Paribas Wealth Management, compares stocks and cash performance :
1990-2020: most individual stocks did not beat cash!
While stock markets outperformed bonds and cash by a long way
Very few super-performing stocks create this long-term stock market outperformance
These stocks come from many sectors, including Healthcare, Tech and Semis, and Comsumer Discretionary
Most investors are best off with widely diversified stock fund/ETF exposure
