UBS : Une allocation équilibrée peut être adoptée prochainement pour éviter des ajustements importants du portefeuille

People’s Financial News, April 8 — After the announcement of a temporary ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran, international oil prices plummeted sharply, with WTI crude oil futures dropping over 10%. UBS Wealth Management Investment Director Office(CIO) pointed out that although a short-term ceasefire may help boost market sentiment, given the high uncertainty still surrounding the US-Israel-Iran conflict, investors should not over-hedge, and should maintain diversification and appropriate hedging to cope with short-term volatility while seizing long-term opportunities. At this stage, energy supply may be difficult to restore quickly. Whether parties can reach an agreement quickly remains to be seen. If supply disruptions last longer and oil prices remain high, investors may consider gradually reducing portfolio risk. Considering risk management and loss control, investors should prudently manage market exposure that is highly sensitive to oil prices, focus on long-term growth prospects that are positive, and favor defensive sectors less affected by energy supply disruptions. Recently, the market has experienced significant fluctuations due to news factors; investors might consider adopting a balanced allocation rather than betting on the direction of geopolitical events, and avoid hasty and large adjustments to strategic asset allocation.
