๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ USA to attack Iran?

According to Axios, the likelihood of a military operation against Iran has risen to 90%. This is allegedly not about a pinpoint strike, but a possible multi-week campaign in conjunction with Israel.

Tankers, transporters, and AWACS planes are being redeployed to the region โ€” logistics for prolonged actions.

โš™๏ธ Why is this important for the markets?

The main risk is the Strait of Hormuz.
About 20 million barrels of oil pass through it daily โ€” ~20% of global consumption. Any restrictions = instant price shock.

Oil is already reacting: +3% on the news.

๐Ÿ“ Chain reaction

Oil up โ†’ fuel and logistics become more expensive โ†’ inflation rises โ†’
The Federal Reserve finds it harder to lower rates โ†’ pressure on stocks and crypto.

Additionally: up to 80% of Iranian oil goes to China. Cutting off the flow is not only an energy blow but also a geopolitical one.

Markets are not afraid of the war itself.
They are afraid of inflationary shocks and rate disruptions.
