The Chai Tattle - 27th March 2026

The close of the week brought panic back into the market as talks of a ground invasion from the US looks likely in Iran setting off macroeconomic fears.

Bears returned to the market as hopes of a resolution regarding the war fade and expectation of more intense fighting over the weekend. Additionally Ukraine ended up hurting Russian refineries that pushed the price of Oil further up. Trading diminished, as usually is the case on Friday, but what was a break from routine this week has finished with the same slumber as the past few weeks.

The return profile is expectedly massively skewed to the left.
