In this week’s episode of <i>Money Matters</i>, brought to you by Greenberg Financial Group, we break down a dramatic week in the markets—where geopolitical tensions collided with economic optimism.<br />The biggest headline? A major escalation in the Middle East, as Israel launched targeted strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, taking out senior military leaders. The result: oil prices spiked, risk assets pulled back, and safe havens like gold and Treasuries saw a surge. Investors are now on edge heading into the weekend.<br />Earlier in the week, markets were buoyed by encouraging inflation data and renewed cooperation between the U.S. and China, pushing stocks back near all-time highs—until Friday’s events reversed that momentum.
