Deutsche Bank told investors to purchase protection as several market drivers begin to weaken. U.S. earnings season's positive impact is now in the rear-view mirror following Nvidia's results on Wednesday.

Investors may once again focus on disruption caused by events in the Middle East, according to the bank. The assessment comes as broader market conditions shift after a period of strong corporate earnings.

Bank said the change in focus warrants buying protection to manage potential risks. The recommendation reflects a view that attention will move away from earnings and toward geopolitical developments.
