Markets, Missiles & the Money Moves You Need to Know

In this week’s episode of Money Matters, brought to you by Greenberg Financial Group, we break down a dramatic week in the markets—where geopolitical tensions collided with economic optimism. The biggest headline? A major escalation in the Middle East, as Israel launched targeted strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, taking out senior military leaders. The result: oil prices spiked, risk assets pulled back, and safe havens like gold and Treasuries saw a surge. Investors are now on edge heading into the weekend. Earlier in the week, markets were buoyed by encouraging inflation data and renewed cooperation between the U.S. and China, pushing stocks back near all-time highs—until Friday’s events reversed that momentum. We walk you through the full picture.
