Managing Market Anxiety During the Iran Conflict

March 10, 2026
Two women sit on a couch in a TV studio, engaged in conversation. A sign behind them reads GETTING BY BETTER. The news ticker below says, Managing market anxiety during Iran conflict.

Gina Martin Adams joined Atlanta News First’s Getting By Better segment with Sydney Stallworth to break down market activity amid the recent conflict in Iran.

She explained that the conflict has driven increased volatility in oil markets, which is translating into fluctuating gas prices for American consumers. Despite this turbulence, she noted that the broader stock market is still performing relatively well.

Gina advised consumers to avoid making emotionally driven changes to their investment portfolios during this period, while staying mindful that higher prices at the pump may persist in the near term.
