After launching strikes on Iran , Trump says ceasefire is over but negotiations can continue
What it means
Direct US strikes on Iran and the collapse of a ceasefire represent a genuine escalation beyond the Israel-Lebanon conflict already reflected in prior signals — this introduces a new actor and a new risk channel, most critically the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of global oil flows. Historically, direct US-Iran military confrontation has been associated with sharp crude oil spikes, a strong safe-haven bid in gold, gains in defense names, and short-term pressure on broad equities.
