Markets fall, fear rises. Should investors really sit this out?
- Nikkei climbs ~3% as AI and chip stocks surge, offering a bright spot amid broader sell‑offs (Economic Times).
- CFTC clears Phantom to link users to regulated derivatives, expanding crypto market access and potentially boosting liquidity (Decrypt).
- Iran’s Hormuz stranglehold and GPS disruptions threaten oil flows and navigation, while possible Venezuela sanctions relief adds geopolitical uncertainty (NYT, Seeking Alpha).
Global markets are wobbling under geopolitical tension and supply‑chain shocks, yet AI‑driven chip rallies in Japan and a fresh regulatory green light for crypto derivatives hint the dip may be brief. History shows exiting now often costs more than staying the correction, making the real risk missing the rebound rather than volatility.
