For the next couple of weeks, what will dominate the narrative on the street would be the action and expectation from the US Fed and Iran’s attack on Israel and whether it escalates further or not. At a time when events where no one has any control are hitting the street, two things are most important, first, don't react in panic. Now panic is not only about selling because the news is negative, but also about buying just because stock prices have fallen from its recent high. It is time to remember that there is not even a single year in the last 25 years, when there has not been an issue which made it appear that the world is going to crumble. But the fact is good businesses have still grown, valuations have still risen and broader markets have moved higher. So, these geopolitical tensions are part of life only if one focuses on what one is investing into and puts more checks and balances so that one is able to bring in the element of margins of safety.
