What happened on Monday was quite interesting from a market perspective. While Trump continued with his optimistic statements, Iran decided to respond over the weekend, creating a tense situation that shook traditional assets.
The most obvious effect? The price of oil reacted immediately. On Monday morning, WTI jumped by 5%, reaching $91.35 per barrel. It’s one of those movements that reminds us how geopolitical dynamics still directly influence oil. When there are tensions in the Middle East, the market knows exactly what to do with black gold’s price.
But it wasn’t just oil moving. U.S. stock futures took the opposite direction, with the Nasdaq down 0.9%. A classic flight-to-safety: when geopolitics gets complicated, investors prefer to stay cautious on stocks and protect their portfolios with more defensive assets.
This was one of those days where the price of oil and global tensions reminded traders that markets don’t move solely based on economic numbers. Sometimes, international politics are the main driver.
