Group 1 - The report emphasizes the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran, indicating that the duration of the war is uncertain and negotiations are unlikely to reach an agreement in the short term. The situation is expected to escalate, leading to sustained high oil prices and significant impacts on global supply chains, increasing market anxiety [3][4][7]. - The report suggests that the market is entering a phase of rebalancing, shifting from a growth-oriented approach to a focus on defensive and value stocks due to the pressures of high oil prices and concerns about the longevity of the conflict.
