Markets Reassess Risk Amid Iran Conflict
Peter S. Kim, managing director and global strategist at KB Financial Group, warns on March 31, 2026 that a U.S. attack on Iran has shaken bullish global equity assumptions built on dovish policy, fiscal stimulus, deregulation and AI-driven spending. He cites Korean retail investors' large U.S. holdings (over $150 billion) and more than 5 trillion won of foreign outflows, cautioning that rising oil and inflation could pressure macro-sensitive KOSPI sectors.
