Tensions in the Middle East have escalated sharply, and the market’s most immediate pricing impact remains energy: Brent crude rose 3.3% in a single day, approaching $117 per barrel. If the risk of disruptions to shipping routes and supply continues to spread, inflation expectations may pick up again, and macroeconomic volatility in global risk assets could intensify.

At this stage, position management matters more than making a one-way bet.
