🚨Iran just launched a surprise attack on a US base in Jordan. Oil prices spiked 5% immediately. The peace deal just got its most serious test.
This changes everything that happened in the last 48 hours.
Trump announced the Iran deal. Pakistan's PM confirmed it. The Strait of Hormuz saw its first clean passage. Markets added $1 trillion in a single session. Bitcoin bounced. Gold gave back its war premium.
And now Iran launched a surprise attack on a US military base in Jordan.
A surprise attack. On American soil. On American troops.
This is not a proxy skirmish. This is not a Houthi drone in the Red Sea. This is Iran directly striking the United States military.
Oil spiking 5% in minutes is the market's first reaction. It will not be the last.
WTI was already up 21% in July before this happened. The Strait of Hormuz was still under blockade despite the peace announcement. US oil inventories were at 22 year lows. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve already depleted 58 million barrels since the war started.
Now add a direct Iranian military strike on American forces.
The peace deal narrative is not just complicated. It may be over.
Every geopolitical assumption markets made in the last week is now being repriced simultaneously. Risk off. Energy up. Gold up. Safe havens bid. Emerging market currencies under immediate pressure.
The FOMC meeting is tomorrow with 36% odds of a rate hike already priced in.
Iran just handed the Fed and the market the worst possible timing for the most important macro event of the year.
The next 24 hours will determine whether the peace deal survives or the war enters its most dangerous phase yet.
