Global equity markets suffered a selloff in March, with escalating conflict in the Middle East triggering a surge in oil prices. Although stock markets remained relatively calm compared to previous crises, such as Covid or President Trump's tariff announcement on so-called Liberation Day, rising oil prices reignited fears of inflation, which might need to be countered by central banks increasing interest rates. Investors fretted that this could lead to a period of stagflation, where economic growth is weak and inflation high, although US employment figures published at the start of April suggested growth in the world's largest economy remained resilient for now. Meanwhile, some economists suggested that central banks may decide to look through a temporary increase in inflation if the conflict is short-lived.
