World News : US renews strikes on Iran
What it means
Direct US strikes on Iran represent a meaningful escalation beyond prior tension signals and have historically been associated with sharp spikes in crude oil (via Hormuz risk), a safe-haven bid into gold, gains in defense stocks, and short-term pressure on broad equities. The Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly one-fifth of global oil flows, is the central risk channel here. These are informational observations about historical patterns, not investment recommendations. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
