I also expected a bigger drop, but then predicting the market in the short term is nearly impossible. I guess defense and energy sectors will see a boost, and the magnificant 7 aren't likely to be affected much (and they carry so much weight in the index), and it may also be a way for some companies to increase their margins.

BlackRock looking very dodgy
Sentiment could increase around other investors…..

Always ...

I wonder what might happen with ishares* ETFs when the ASX opens on Monday.

*Blackrock being the parent company.

Anything more specific than normal ?

Are there issues specific to Blackrock? I notice that investment company SOL shares (which I don't own but is on my watchlist) has been surprisingly unaffected by the war. (adding: even though their underlying assets would have dropped)

Any buying opportunities? Or just get some gear shares.

There’s probably a lot of value for those playing a long game.

I have about $60k across WDS and STO that I’m looking to sell and reinvest!

Any buying opportunities?

Definitely. TWE at record lows.

Some crazy market volatility overnight off the back of Trump's Truth Social post.

Looks like yesterday may have been the dip to buy!

Way too early to conclude that. Trump and Iran don't even agree as to whether talks have taken place.

Also just read that $1.5 billion in S&P 500 futures was bought around 5 minutes before Trump's announcement. If that's not insider trading, I don't know what it.
