Sad to see that trouble has flared up between Palastine and Israel. With Israel promising retaliation. Horrific scenes after twenty years of relative calm in the region.

Market implications: historically, the Israel Palestine conflict hasn't particularly has an effect on the market, but the fallout from Israel's response could be so widespread the the market may find it hard to ignore, we may see a 'risk off' start to the week. Oil will also be interesting to watch, because when war breaks oil, the price of oil often rises.
