🚨 BREAKING: MARKETS ON EDGE OVER POSSIBLE IRAN STRIKE ⚠️
$Geopolitical Shockwave Incoming? US officials have been briefed: Israel is ready to launch a military operation against Iran. The risk of full-scale escalation in the Middle East is growing rapidly.
🛢️ Oil Markets React Fast
Brent crude approaching $69/barrel — highest since March 2025
A full-blown conflict could push oil to $120, warns J.P. Morgan
📈 J.P. MORGAN WARNS:
> “An attack on Iran could spike oil prices to $120, driving US CPI inflation to 5%.”
This would reverse current market expectations of rate cuts — and put rate hikes back on the table.
🏦 POLICY CONTRADICTION AHEAD? President Trump has prioritized low energy prices to fight inflation.
But a sharp oil rally could:
Fuel inflationary pressure 🔥
Force the Fed’s hand to raise interest rates again
Trigger risk-off sentiment in equities & crypto 📉
📊 RECENT MACRO CHECK-IN
CPI = Higher than previous, but lower than forecast
Inflation still climbing 🚨
PPI data pending – next key trigger
🧠 MARKET INSIGHT: If war breaks out, expect:
Flight to safety: Gold, USD, possibly BTC
Volatility spike in oil, S&P, and crypto
DXY strength could pressure altcoins short-term
📌 Stay sharp, manage risk. This is not a drill.
