Increased geopolitical stability

Rising oil prices could adversely affect domestic inflation, trade balance, and exchange rates, which could adversely affect the economy in the second half of the year.

There are also predictions that market funds will be concentrated in safe assets such as gold as geopolitical risks in the Middle East grow.

Iran has warned that a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas could escalate if it does not extend.

This could lead to a major change in the security situation in the Middle East.
