Airlines are cutting flights, consumers are tightening their belts and companies are warning of price rises as the Iran war upends global business.
Yet, a little over two months after US-Israeli attacks on Iran sparked the conflict, the world’s biggest companies have added more than $5.4tn in value, an increase of 4.2%.
Tech groups have held global equity markets aloft as investors hunt for the sectors least exposed to the Middle East conflict.
