War scares: price-change divergence in oil and safe-haven asset markets - 03/31/2024 |

Briefing Points on the Economic and Market Outlook - 04/30/2024 |
The onset and abatement of geopolitical risk has been a major factor in the behavior of capital markets and the economy in the past two years. In the third quarter, capital-market anxiety diminished, allowing the price of crude oil to rise from $71.65 at the end of December to 83.71 at the end of March. This is bearish for next year's stock market, but this year's market is still responding favorably to the fall in energy prices last year. The rising price of oil fully explains why. |
