Welcome to Extreme Investor Network, where we bring you the latest news and insights from the world of finance. Today, we delve into a pro-Palestinian protest that took place outside the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on Monday.
The protest, organized by Jewish Voices for Peace, saw demonstrators chaining themselves to security fences and some exterior doors outside the NYSE building on Broad Street in lower Manhattan. While there was no disruption to trading and protestors did not make it to the trading floor, the exchange limited entry to the building due to the demonstrations.
Chants of “we want housing, not genocide” and “let Gaza live” could be heard during the protest, with Jewish Voices for Peace highlighting the connection between the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the booming stock prices of weapons manufacturers.
As tensions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continue to escalate, the protest outside the NYSE serves as a reminder of the broader impact of geopolitical events on financial markets. The NYSE, which has had heightened security measures since the 9/11 attacks, declined to comment on the protest.
