In his latest report, Ronald Temple, Chief Market Strategist at Lazard Asset Management, warns that the apparent breakdown of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire highlights ongoing geopolitical risks, with depleted strategic energy reserves leaving global markets vulnerable to renewed price shocks. The report also expects U.S. inflation to ease in the near term as energy prices fall, while cautioning that longer-term inflation pressures and slowing Chinese economic growth remain key risks.
