After many years, the Taliban is returning to power in Afghanistan, occupying all cities and border crossings, raising questions about stability in the Middle East. Not only are the country's citizens concerned, but investors are also watching for potential unrest in US financial markets in response to critical political developments. The bad situation was reflected mainly in the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, S&P 500 SPX, and Nasdaq Composite Index COMP. 

The further development of financial markets is unpredictable and military conflicts have not led to significant changes in the past. Nevertheless, some investors may place bets on defense contractors, which could grow if relations deteriorate.
