Markets will be nervous about what happens in the Middle East. Oil prices could get very high extremely quickly.

It was a response to how "markets will react on Monday to the Israel-Iran war potential?" If markets are responding negatively to VIX you don't think further Middle East instability won't?

Could be good for palantir and any military stocks.
unless something else happens before Monday then I doubt the hit will be much overall

as far as Irans concerned its over. USA is probably telling Israel not to escalate it anymore.

Iran says 'concluded' retaliation against Israel, summons Western envoys
Iran on Sunday urged Israel not to retaliate militarily to an unprecedented attack overnight, which Tehran presented as a justified response to a deadly strike on its consulate building in Damascus.

It’s been talked about for a few days in anticipation, so now it’s happened the markets might just shrug it off in the short term.

No your vix spike is friday morning, the attacks on israel are saturday night.
You can come up with any predictions you want but there is no data you can point too.

Nice to see some volatility back in the markets. Will make for some interesting times.
Read - it was asked how will the market respond.
My response was the market responds to volatility - aka VIX literally 24hrs ago. No one said VIX is Nostradamus except you.
Apparently you quote everything but you cannot remember Ukraine or Covid or any other real world events that induce volatility.

IDS… Royal Mail..
They went up by 25% yesterday as they rejected a takeover at 320p per share.
Currently at ~270 so there’s head room, the company who made the offer has until 9th may to make an official offer.
For clarification, I have shares in them.

It amazing how many people think Royal Mail (IDS) and the post office are the same company
Totally different companies
Before it was privatized post office was a subsidiary of Royal Mail.
will the gov try and stop foreign ownership though?
Soldato
I think they will… IDS literally have an monopoly in letters delivery and even thou the general public don’t send letters anymore, its still standard practice for many, if not all companies for many years to come.
They also handle international mail and parcels from other nation’s mail services, which is where most of their profits come from.
Even thou their staff is unionised, people underestimate the size of their workforce, size and location of their property estate along with branding.
Heck if I was a billionaire, I would love to buy IDS.. imagine the adverts you could run if you move the company into data delivery.. mobile phones network or/and internet service provider. “Been delivering you mail for over 500 years… now delivering your e-mails!”
If the take over bid fails… it would only draw interest in the company from others. Company’s like UPS, DHL etc.. should want a large enough share in the company to block any takeovers.
