US launches more strikes against Iran , signaling a new stage of the war
What it means
Direct US strikes on Iran represent a genuine escalation beyond prior signals in this situation — historically, this class of event has been associated with immediate spikes in crude oil and gold as safe-haven and supply-risk trades, along with gains in defense stocks. Broad equities have historically dipped on such shocks, though recoveries within weeks have been common in past geopolitical escalations.
