In a recent appearance on CNBC, a member of the channel’s Halftime Report’s Investment Committee, Joseph Terranova, discussed the ongoing volatility in the stock market stemming from the military operations in Iran. The volatility was clear on Thursday following Iran’s first attacks on oil tankers so far in the conflict. As oil prices surged due to the Hormuz Strait being blocked, the Chicago Volatility Index surged by 13% on Thursday before closing at 24.92. Terranova commented on the overall volatility in the market and the impact on financial firms:
“If you are a hedge fund. . .if you’re institutional, you’re focused on alpha generation. This has become a horrible environment to do that. And less is more. And you are participating less. The extreme volatility driven by whether it’s a tweet or a headline, that’s a very punitive environment to be in. So, the people in that world, that I speak to, they are providing less liquidity, they are stepping back. They are awaiting some degree of certainty involving the oil market.”
