NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Wall Street Media presentsan exclusive video of Rich Gordon, the highly regarded Fixed Income Market Strategist of Wells Fargo Securities (NYSE: WFC), on recent major market moves prompted by the spreading unrest in the Middle East and Africa. Most notably, the VIX Index has risen almost 440 basis points, indicating nervousness among investors. This tension among investors parallels the rising tension in Libya, and nearby countries. Gordon suggests that, among the current effects on the capital markets, is the elevated volatility in commodities markets. Commodity prices are trading higher because of the upward shift in the commodity demand curve and the worthlessness of the currency needed to buy them. Gordon also suggests that if the unrest continues to spread, a dip in stock prices comparable to that of this past Tuesdaya™s dip could occur. To hear more on what investors should expect depending on the resolution, or lack thereof, of this unrest in the coming weeks, view our video below.
