US launches new strikes on Iran following Tuesday surprise attacks
What it means
A direct US military strike on Iran is a genuine escalation in this ongoing conflict — historically, direct state-to-state exchanges of this kind have been associated with immediate spikes in crude oil and gold as safe-haven and supply-risk bids emerge, gains in defense stocks, and short-term pressure on broad equities. The key risk priced here is the possibility of Iranian retaliation targeting Gulf oil infrastructure or Strait of Hormuz shipping lanes.
