Stock Market Today

  • Should Investors Buy FTSE 100 Shares Now or Wait for a Market Crash?
    April 25, 2026, 12:09 PM EDT. Amid global tensions and economic uncertainty, investors debate whether to buy FTSE 100 shares now or wait for the next stock market crash. Market crashes offer opportunities to purchase high-quality stocks at significant discounts, but predicting these crashes is extremely difficult. The ongoing Iran conflict raises risks, yet potential peace deals and increased production may mitigate energy shocks. Investor interest in FTSE 100 remains strong, with Games Workshop (LSE:GAW) highlighted for growth prospects tied to new product launches and factory expansions. However, supply chain disruptions, especially in plastics used for manufacturing, pose short-term risks. Games Workshop's pricing power could offset rising costs, but inflationary pressures remain a concern. This cautious, incremental investment approach reflects a balanced stance amid volatility.
