Wall Street mentioned earlier that the terrorist attack in Paris last Friday local time has caused 132 deaths, which is one of the deadliest terrorist atrocities in western metropolises since "9. 1 1" in the United States. The terrorist attacks caused investors to flood into the safe-haven asset market. Today, in Asian markets, Japanese yen, gold and US Treasury futures rose sharply, US stock futures and Australian stock markets fell, and Japanese and Korean stock markets opened sharply lower.
Amrita Sen, chief crude oil analyst of Energy Aspects, an energy industry consultancy, commented that the current market sentiment is really pessimistic, so demand may be hurt and oil prices may fall further. However, if the market predicts that terrorist attacks will lead to an escalation of tension in the Middle East, then the medium-term oil price may rebound after a short-term sell-off.
The report in Reuters pointed out that the terrorist attacks in Paris caused the market to worry about the further slowdown of global economic growth. It can be expected that there will be widespread short-term selling in global stock markets today, but few analysts predict that the terrorist attacks in Paris will continue to affect the global economy and change the mainstream direction of the global market.
The report also mentioned that a representative of an oil-producing country in the Persian Gulf region of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) also believed that due to more geopolitical tensions, especially when the international community stepped up measures to crack down on crude oil smuggling and oil facilities in Syria and Iraq controlled by the terrorist organization "Islamic State", oil prices may gain upward support in the medium term.
The representative predicted that in the short term, oil prices may continue to face downward pressure. How the global market reacts depends on how strict and how long the restrictions imposed by France and other European countries last.
Last year, the international oil price fell by nearly 50%, hitting a six-year low this year, and it is still at a six-year low below $50 a barrel.
After the terrorist attacks in Paris, French President Hollande said in a televised speech that the "Islamic State" organized the worst attack in France since the Second World War and vowed to fight back. Hollande also declared martial law in France, closed its borders and cancelled its participation in the G20 summit.
The Wall Street Journal quoted people familiar with the matter yesterday as saying that one of the attackers of the terrorist attacks in Paris recently entered Europe as a Syrian immigrant. When Europe is dealing with the biggest refugee crisis in decades, this exposes the security loopholes in Europe.
After the incident, the Polish government announced that it would stop implementing EU resolutions and would no longer accept refugees. The Polish side said: "After the Paris attack, we don't see any political possibility for people to respect these refugees."
