US completes another round of strikes against Iran
What it means
Direct US military strikes on Iran have historically been associated with a sharp crude oil risk premium — given Iran's proximity to the Strait of Hormuz — alongside a safe-haven rush into gold and gains in defense stocks. Broad equities historically dip on this class of escalation, though recoveries within weeks are common. Because no prior signal was recorded for this ongoing situation, this represents fresh market-moving information rather than a continuation.
