🚨 U.S.–IRAN TENSIONS | MARKET IMPACT UPDATE 🇺🇸🇮🇷

Global markets are reacting to escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, pushing investors toward defensive assets and weighing on risk-oriented markets.

📊 What’s driving market moves:

• U.S. military buildup in the Middle East with USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group deployed — heightening geopolitical risk near Iran.

• Iranian stocks have sharply fallen as investor confidence drops amid conflict fears and economic instability.

• Sanctions on Iranian oil tankers target Iran’s financial links, adding pressure on its economy and global crude flows.

• Washington says it’s open to diplomatic contact, keeping the door to negotiations alive even as tensions persist.

📈 Market implications:

• Oil prices — sensitive to supply-risk fears and Middle East military presence

• Gold & safe havens — likely to see inflows as uncertainty rises

• Stocks & risk assets — may face pressure if geopolitical risk spikes

• Emerging market currencies — under stress amid flight to safety

This combination of military posture and sanctions suggests markets are pricing in both risk and caution — not just headlines.
