Economists: The situation in the Middle East is severe, investors should remain calm.

M.M. Warburg & CO's Chief Economist Carsten Klude said in a report that the situation in the Middle East is serious, with far-reaching humanitarian and political consequences, but investors should remain calm. The chief economist said, "Hastily selling off assets in a declining market often leads to losses that cannot be recovered in subsequent recoveries." He stated that maintaining a diversified investment portfolio and considering positions in energy and defense as practical measures to hedge geopolitical risks is reasonable and will not distort the overall investment portfolio. "The experience of financial markets is clear: discipline and a calm mind are often key factors in determining returns during crisis periods."
