Will the markets be able to contain the repercussions of the geopolitical escalation?
Following the airstrike carried out by Israel inside Iranian territory, which the Israeli Defense Minister described as a "preemptive strike", global markets face a critical challenge: will they succeed in containing the repercussions of this sudden geopolitical escalation?
These tensions immediately cast shadows over market indicators, as oil prices rose, Asian stocks and U.S. stock futures saw a decline, and the dollar regained its previous losses as investors increasingly leaned towards shedding high-risk assets.
The coming hours will determine the fate of the market: Scenarios for the Iranian response
Analysts believe that the next few days will be pivotal in determining the direction of the markets. News headlines covering the Israeli strike have reignited geopolitical fears, and the continuation of this cautious mood depends on the nature of Tehran's reaction in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Scenario One: Limited Containment
If the Iranian response is limited and energy flows continue uninterrupted, historical experience suggests that the risk wave may dissipate quickly. In such cases, markets tend to absorb initial shocks and return to their fundamental path.
Scenario Two: Escalation and Volatility.
