Iran Attacks US Bases , Triggers Joint US - Saudi Strikes
What it means
A direct Iranian attack on US bases followed by joint US-Saudi strikes represents a sharp, genuine escalation that has historically been associated with an immediate crude oil spike (Strait of Hormuz and Saudi infrastructure at risk), a strong safe-haven bid into gold, and gains in defense stocks. Broad equities have historically dipped on this type of geopolitical shock, though recoveries have tended to follow within weeks once the immediate risk premium settles.
