US–Iran Tensions Shake Markets: Oil Volatility and Risk-Off Moves

Rising US–Iran tensions have increased global market volatility, mainly through the energy sector. Oil prices tend to spike as traders price in supply-disruption risks, especially around the Strait of Hormuz.

Equity markets usually turn risk-off, while safe-haven assets like gold and the US dollar gain during escalation. Candlestick charts show sharp price swings followed by consolidation, reflecting headline-driven trading.

Bottom line:

Geopolitical risk adds a temporary risk premium to oil and boosts safe havens, while stocks remain sensitive to any escalation or de-escalation signals.

U.S.–Iran tensions influence markets mainly through:

✔ Oil price spikes on risk premium and supply disruption fears.

✔ Equity volatility as risk appetite shifts quickly.

✔ Safe-haven flows into gold, USD, Treasuries during peaks in fear.

In short: Geopolitical risk drives commodity volatility and risk asset repricing, with global markets reacting sharply to headlines even if broader economic impact depends on how prolonged or contained the tensions become.
