The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East have highlighted the need for investors and companies to monitor their exposure to geopolitical risks. But our latest analysis shows that rising interstate tensions along several other geopolitical fault lines also need to be at the forefront of investors’ minds, as these have similar if not greater potential to create market shocks due to the high levels of exposure of Western stocks and strategic industries. Using data from our Asset Risk Exposure Analytics (AREA) to map geopolitical risk against the global footprints of 1000s of public companies, we’ve found that Europe’s largest stock market indices have greater exposure than their US and Japanese counterparts. But companies in key industries in the S&P 500 and Nikkei 225 also have operations straddling both sides of diplomatic conflicts, leaving them exposed to volatility in the event of a geopolitical shock.

WHAT IS THE REAL POINT RIGHT NOW? | BlackRock 🎲 1. Geopolitical fragmentation is one of the reasons for persistent inflationary pressures and policy rates have stayed above Prepandemic levels. 2. The supply chains are becoming longer and more complex as connector countries like Mexico and Vietnam increasingly act as intermediate trading partners between geopolitical blocks but significant investment in critical infrastructure is needed for benefits to fully materialize. 3. The disruption of Red Sea shipping aiming to pass through the Suez Canal shows how the conflict can expand to hamper supply chains and drive up production costs. 4. The Gulf tensions rating on the ongoing Israel-Hamas war was given in December showing the risk of escalation is high with attacks by Iranian-backed groups on the rise. 5. U.S-China Strategic Competition Risk rating at a high level though the November meeting between Presidents Biden and Xi Jinping has helped set a more positive tone for relations and expanded comms in the near term but #Taiwan remains a significant flashpoint as the recent election shows. 6. Blackrock sees Inflation staying closer to 3 per cent in the new regime than policy targets and prefers short-term bonds over long-term because of uncertainty and volatile inflation, heightened bond market volatility and weaker investor demand. 7. The Think-tank expects deeper fragmentation, heightened competition and less cooperation between major nations in 2024. #geopolitics #geopoliticalrisk #fragmentation #supplychain #volatility #bonds #Markets #usa #China
