#USIranStandoff The U.S.–Iran standoff is back on the global radar, and markets are paying attention. Rising tensions in the Middle East instantly raise fears around oil supply disruptions, especially through the Strait of Hormuz a key artery for global energy flows. As a result, crude prices tend to spike, inflation expectations creep higher, and risk assets get shaky. Historically, moments like this push investors toward safe havens: gold strengthens, the dollar firms up, and volatility jumps across equities and crypto. Defense stocks and energy names often catch a bid, while high-beta assets see fast pullbacks. For traders, this isn’t about panic it’s about headline risk. One statement, strike, or sanction can flip sentiment in minutes. Expect choppy price action, fast rotations, and exaggerated moves until clarity returns. In geopolitics, uncertainty itself is the catalyst.#USIranStandoff #FedWatch
