#USIranTensionsImpactMarkets

US-Iran Tensions Shake Markets.
✨ The US-Iran tension that erupted in the Middle East has put global financial markets into full-blown war mode. Following joint US and Israeli operations targeting Iranian targets, the geopolitical risk premium has reached its peak. Investors are flocking to gold, silver, and oil in search of "safe havens," while risky assets are losing value. The hashtag #USIranTensionsImpactMarkets has topped the trending list on social media, being shared millions of times per hour.
✨Gold surpassed $5,210 per ounce, reaching a new all-time high (+2.1% daily). Silver surged to $85.70 (+3.4%). According to data, gold has gained 4.6% and silver 7.2% in the last 48 hours. Geopolitical fears and weak US employment data triggered this rally.
✨Oil: Brent crude oil rose to $96.80, reaching its highest level since 2025 (+4.8%). WTI is at $92.40. Iran's threats in the Strait of Hormuz and fears of possible supply disruptions have sent prices soaring. Goldman Sachs analysts warned that "the $100 barrier could be broken this week."
✨ The Dow Jones fell 1.8%, the S&P 500 2.1%, and the Nasdaq 2.7%. In Europe, the DAX declined 2.3%, and the FTSE 100 1.9%. The Istanbul Stock Exchange lost 3.4%, falling to 9,850 points. A general selling pressure prevailed, except for defense industry stocks (Lockheed Martin +6%, Northrop Grumman +5%).
✨ According to CoinMarketCap data, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization has eroded by $180 billion in the last 24 hours.
✨ US drone and missile operations against Iranian nuclear facilities and the Revolutionary Guard have been compounded by Tehran's threat of "retaliation." Bloomberg and Reuters sources indicate that the conflict started "in a controlled manner," but if 20% of the Strait of Hormuz is closed, oil prices could skyrocket to $120. Economic Weakness: Yesterday's US non-farm payrolls data showed a loss of 92,000 jobs. Although expectations of a Fed interest rate cut are increasing, inflation fears (due to the oil effect) are weighing on the markets. If the US-Iran tension does not end in the short term, markets will see more volatility. In the long term, however, such geopolitical shocks structurally push gold, silver, and energy prices higher. bu
