Global Financial Markets Confront the War in the Middle East and Amplification Risks - April 2026
The global financial system has so far weathered the war in the Middle East and the energy shock it brought with a degree of resilience. Markets have remained broadly orderly, corrections have been contained, and short-term funding markets have continued to function. Yet, this resilience should not be taken for granted. Because shocks could worsen, it is essential to focus on the remaining vulnerabilities and the policies that could ameliorate them.Part of the resilience so far reflects the nature of the shock itself and the way it has unfolded in markets.
News related to the war has oscillated between escalation and de-escalation, including the recent two-week ceasefire. This ebb and flow has generated bouts of volatility in energy prices and asset prices, but it has not yet triggered the kind of sustained market drawdowns that give rise to acute liquidity stress, margin calls, and forced deleveraging. Uncertainty has been high, but outcomes have not led to a disorderly exit of investors.More broadly, historical experience suggests that geopolitical risks tend to have a limited and often short-lived effect on global asset prices, as documented in previous issues of the Global Financial Stability Report. This pattern has again been evident, particularly in advanced economies, where equity and bond markets have adjusted but not destabilized. Emerging markets have been more sensitive to shifts in global risk sentiment, reflecting their greater exposure to volatile capital flows and risk-sensitive investors.
That said, the contained market impact of geopolitical shocks do not imply that vulnerabilities are benign.
Rather, it may indicate that markets have not fully priced more adverse scenarios.
