Global markets are reacting sharply to rising geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran, sending energy and safe-haven assets higher:
Oil (Brent) has climbed toward ~$70.5 per barrel amid supply risk fears.
• WTI crude has strengthened to around ~$65–$62+ per barrel as traders price in possible disruptions.
• Gold is rallying as investors seek safety, with spot prices above $4,900 per ounce in recent moves.
• Silver has also moved higher, reflecting safe-haven demand.
The surge reflects growing concern over potential supply disruptions and broader risk sentiment, as geopolitical risk premiums push markets toward traditional hedges like oil and precious metals.

The U.S. Federal Reserve is set to inject $16 billion in liquidity into the financial system this week through two $8 billion Treasury bill purchases, aiming to support money markets and short-term funding conditions.
This move follows a broader series of recent liquidity operations — including a $16 billion injection on December 30, one of the largest since the COVID-19 pandemic — and reflects ongoing efforts to maintain orderly market functioning.
While the Fed describes these operations as routine liquidity management, markets often interpret them as supportive for risk assets like stocks and crypto. Analysts note that such injections can stabilize funding costs and improve investor confidence in the short term, especially during periods of elevated volatility.

Rolex generates around $11 billion per year — yet it has no shareholders, reports no public earnings, and is owned by a charity.
After his wife passed away in 1944, founder Hans Wilsdorf transferred 100% of his shares to a private trust. He feared that after his death, investors could break apart the company for short-term profit.
He wrote strict bylaws stating the company can never be sold, can never go public, and must exist forever.
Today, the net profit goes directly to the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation — not investors.
