S&P/ASX All Ords Index (ASX: XAO) shares fell 8% in March due to the war in Iran and skyrocketing oil and gas prices.
Energy prices and supply chain networks impact almost all corners of the global economy.
So it wasn't surprising to see a broad market sell-off over the first three weeks of March as multiple industries assessed the damage.
The sell-off now leaves room for investors to buy the dip.
A two-week ceasefire is underway amid hopes of a long-term deal between the US and Iran soon.
Brokers have reviewed their ratings after many shares fell, and they see good opportunities across a number of industries.
