🚨 U.S. military completes high-difficulty rescue

The U.S. military has successfully recovered a second F-15E pilot (identified as a senior officer) from within Iran. The operation involved dozens of fighter jets penetrating Iranian airspace for cover, and the process was intense. Trump announced that a press conference will be held at 1:00 PM Eastern Time on Monday (early Tuesday Beijing time).

⚔️ Situation forecast: shifting from “rescue” to “retaliation”

This successful rescue removes the biggest political burden for the U.S. (risk of personnel being captured), leading to a fundamental shift in the situation:

Upgrade in the nature of the operation: The U.S. military stayed in Iran’s interior for an extended period (7 hours) and completed the rescue, demonstrating strong air superiority and intelligence capabilities, but also constituting a direct military provocation against Iran’s sovereignty.

Iran will inevitably respond: Iran has previously claimed to have shot down a U.S. search and rescue aircraft. Faced with such a “humiliating” infiltration operation, Iran is very likely to retaliate through proxy attacks or long-range strikes on U.S. military bases to save face.

Press conference tone: Trump is very likely to showcase military strength at Monday’s briefing and use the opportunity to announce harsher sanctions or military escalation against Iran, rather than easing tensions.

💰 Market impact: “Safe-haven pulse” at Monday’s open

Be alert to market reactions on Monday (April 6):

Gold and crude oil: If the press conference signals a tough stance, gold (safe-haven) and crude oil (supply concerns) will spike at market open. The previously noted “central bank gold purchases” logic will be reinforced emotionally.

Cryptocurrency: BTC is still viewed as “digital gold” in the short term. Geopolitical risks will support buying, but volatility will sharply increase. ETH and altcoins may continue to underperform the broader market due to risk aversion.

Key point: The content of the press conference at 1:00 AM Beijing time on Tuesday is crucial for market direction. If Trump’s wording is unexpectedly moderate, the market may experience a “sell the news” decline.

The situation has entered a spiral escalation of “tit-for-tat,” so it is recommended to reduce high-risk leverage before the U.S. market opens on Monday, and focus on the specific policy signals released during the briefing.
