A warning was also announced for people not to be «within a one-kilometer radius of banks». The statement was made after the branch of Tehran-based Sepah Bank was bombed, which Iran’s state broadcaster called an «illegitimate and unusual act in war». **Banks Intensify Contingency Plans** As a result, various global banks have been upping their contingency plans in the Middle East. Citi and Standard Chartered have told staff in Dubai to evacuate offices and work from home, according to a «Reuters» report. Separately, an HSBC customer notice said that the British lender has closed all branches in Qatar until further notice to ensure safety. ### 相关股票 - [ChinaAMC SSE Financials Sector ETF Initiating Fund (510650.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/510650.CN.md) - [HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA.UK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/HSBA.UK.md) - [WP CSI Banks ETF (512820.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/512820.CN.md) - [China Merchants CSI BANK AH Price ETF (517900.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/517900.CN.md) - [Standard Chartered PLC (STAN.UK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/STAN.UK.md) - [Fidelity MSCI Financials Index (FNCL.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/FNCL.US.md) - [STANCHART (02888.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/02888.HK.md) - [ChinaAMC CSI Banks ETF (515020.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/515020.CN.md) - [Fullgoal CSI 800 Banks ETF (159887.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/159887.CN.md) - [HSBC (HSBC.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/HSBC.US.md) - [China Southern CSI Banks ETF (512700.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/512700.CN.md) - [HSBC HOLDINGS (00005.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/00005.HK.md) - [HSBC Holdings plc ADRhedged (HSBH.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/HSBH.US.md) - [VG Financial (VFH.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/VFH.US.md) - [Citigroup (C.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/C.US.md) - [Hwabao WP CSI Banks ETF (512800.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/512800.CN.md) - [Huaan CSI Banks ETF (516210.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/516210.CN.md) - [Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/XLF.US.md) ## 相关资讯与研究 - [Standard Chartered Grants Share Awards to Employees](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/278649146.md) - [HSBC Holdings Issues $8 Billion Worth of Notes](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/278644892.md) - [HSBC CEO: We remain invested in GCC region future and in the opportunities that lie ahead for its people, businesses, and economies - statement](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/278415666.md) - [HSBC, StanChart most exposed to Mideast conflict among European banks, J.P.
