Analysts note that the decline in the US and European stock markets is related to several factors. These include economic and political uncertainty in the US (Fed, trade tensions, weak macro indicators), the rise of geopolitical risks (Israel-Iran conflict, the possibility of US intervention), the strengthening of the dollar, and investor behavior shifting towards “safe havens.”
