What it means
Iran directly striking US military bases across multiple Gulf states represents a genuine escalation beyond prior signals — crude oil has already jumped over 3.5%, which is historically associated with real supply-risk premiums in the region. Defense stocks and gold have historically been associated with sharp gains during direct Iran-US military confrontations. The prior chain already called Brent up, but the magnitude and directness of this strike add new information that supports a continued move.
