Markets on edge as Middle East conflict widens

While European markets tumbled amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East, US equities held up surprisingly well.

Today, we are joined by Carsten Menke, Head of Next Generation Research, who puts the latest moves in precious metals into perspective.
