Global financial markets surged on Tuesday – even as the world teetered on the brink of another military escalation. Israel launched a new military strike on Tehran after a rocket attack killed three civilians in Be'er Sheva, just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between the two sides.

💥 Rocket Attack and Promise of Strong Retaliation

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz accused Iran of breaking the ceasefire and ordered "high-intensity operations" targeting Iranian military infrastructure. Iran denied responsibility. While Iranian agency ISNA claimed no rockets were fired after the truce, the aftermath in Be'er Sheva told a different story – emergency responders confirmed three civilian deaths.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backed the military response, reiterating that the goal of Israel’s airstrikes was the “elimination of Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities.” He also thanked the United States for its defense support.

📈 Stocks and Crypto Rise, Oil Falls

While tensions flare in the Middle East, global stock markets are booming. European equities, especially in the travel and leisure sector, surged – EasyJet +6.5%, Carnival +5.9%, InterContinental Hotels +3.3%. The rally extended to Asia – South Korea's Kospi climbed 2.71%, Japan’s Nikkei gained 1.17%.

U.S. indices joined the rally. The Dow Jones rose by 374 points, the S&P 500 closed up 0.96%, and the Nasdaq jumped nearly 1%. Investors appear to be focusing more on the declared ceasefire than the renewed military activity.

💸 Currencies and Crypto on the Move

In currency markets, commodity-importing countries' currencies strengthened. The euro and Japanese yen gained due to falling oil prices. The Australian dollar rose 0.7%, and the Israeli shekel surged 1.5%, despite the direct attack.

Bitcoin climbed 2% to $105,832, while Ethereum jumped 3.2% – the crypto market responded positively, undeterred by the geopolitical turmoil.

🛢️ Oil in the Red

Oil moved in the opposite direction. U.S. crude (WTI) dropped 2.35% to $66.90 per barrel, while Brent fell 2.25% to $69.87 – the lowest levels since Israel's initial strike on June 13. The market appears to believe the conflict won't significantly disrupt supply.
