A risk-on rally swept US markets overnight, driving the Nasdaq up nearly 4%. And the Australian market is following this morning. This is down to signals of peace in the Iran war... so what should investors expect if we do see a clear end to the war, and which sectors will rise or fall as hostilities cease?

Sharemarkets keep falling, driven by technology and other growth sectors. It's the commodities and value stocks that are holding up, such as coal and chemicals. But the broad bass alarm of bonds is sounding through markets, with a huge spike in yields indicating higher inflation, higher rates and a continuing drop in the value of equities.

US markets were swept by negativity overnight as the oil price spiked and the Iran war looked set to continue.

Markets continue to climb on (somewhat unconvincing) talk of Iran conflict resolution. Analysts are more convinced that inflation will spike above 4% in the US and 5% in Australia in coming months. Especially the US market is not ready for this, so when it does hit the reaction is likely to be severe.

US markets slid over uncertainty of resolution to the Iran war, with tech stocks hit hard overnight. But one of the worst performing sectors this year is private credit, with stocks falling around 30% as investors panic over their exposure to the crumbling software sector.

A rally in US markets and Australia should be taken lightly by investors. All we need to see is a higher oil price, the US central bank talking of rate hikes or big tech companies showing margin pressure, and markets would be in a tailspin, falling up to 30% from recent highs. It all depends on how the Iran conflict continues from this point.

Market fear is spiking just as oil pushes higher.
