If the situation between the U.S. and Iran eases at certain stages, if AI technology maintains a leading position, and if Nasdaq rolls out smoothly across all trading hours, then the narrative of the U.S. “repairing internally first, then consolidating its global advantages” has some basis in reality.

The pressures and damage faced by East Asian economies are real. Volatility in the Korean market and harm to retail investors are typical cases.
Where things ultimately go still depends on execution details, the pace of geopolitical games, oil prices, and AI progress—as well as the parties’ ability to manage risks in their long-term strategies.
