Will Syria Boom or Bust? All Eyes on al-Jolani
The Syrian Government’s collapse is a geopolitical earthquake. Years of civil war, sanctions, and isolation have shattered the old regime, leaving a power vacuum—and one burning question:
What (and who) will rise from the ashes?
Syria’s new government is a wildcard.
Will it be inclusive and stable, or will it lean hard into sectarianism, risking further fragmentation?
A moderate coalition could unlock international investment, reviving the economy and easing Syria’s humanitarian nightmare. But if extremists take the reins, it’s a recipe for chaos—fueling tensions with Israel, empowering Iran, and sparking yet another U.S.-Russia proxy war.
Each outcome carries ripples for the region, from Lebanon’s fragile peace to Israel’s security concerns and Iran’s strategic positioning.
For investors, the type of government matters. Stability opens doors for reconstruction, agriculture, and infrastructure opportunities. Chaos slams them shut.
Syria’s collapse doesn’t just change Syria—it could shift the entire balance of the Middle East.
Abu Mohammed al-Jolani is the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) - the rebel group that toppled the regime. He has a past steeped in extreme Islamist views. But is that still his stance?
Trump is Back Baby!
As the election looms closer, it’s beginning to feel like Trump is gearing up to reclaim power in the land of guns, fast food and Hollywood.
Instead of debating whether Trump is the coolest dude since Jesus or the reincarnation of Hitler, let’s focus on what a Trump victory could mean for the financial markets and how you can position yourself to profit.
The policy agenda’s of Trump and Harris are almost polar opposite on many issues. It’s easy to see in gulf between their two agendas just how populist and extreme politics is in the US right now.
On top of positioning for particular policy outcomes, keep in mind that there is currently a heightened chance of civil unrest around the election. That could mean demonstrations, fighting, further assassination attempts and even attempted coups.
While we don’t want to unnecessarily stoke the flames of division, it’s worth keeping these potential scenario’s in mind. Temperatures are running hot!
No matter who you want to win this election, if in fact you care at all, it’s important to look at both possibilities objectively as to what they mean for your investments.
Put the emotions aside.
