Everyone has benefited from the 2-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. The 3 U.S. indexes each jumped more than 2% during Wednesday. However, Iran now accused the U.S. violating the ceasefire agreement. Hormuz is still closed and oil prices rose again. This has sent the stock indexes down now. The present unstable geopolitical environment contributes to much volatility in stock market. It is prudent to invest in defensive stocks such as those in healthcare, utilities and consumer staples. Wish all Tiger friends good luck.🍀
US-Iran Conflict | Would Hormuz Blockade Escalate Oil to $120?
After a 21-hour marathon negotiation, the U.S. and Iran moved from “disagreement” straight to a complete breakdown. President Trump announced a U.S.-led blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a move that has shattered all of the market’s pricing assumptions over the past week.
If the U.S. blockade holds through April, will the Fed be forced into a "Hawkish Pivot" that resets Nasdaq valuations?
In the clash between Trump’s "Execution Strategy" and Iran’s "Time-Wasting Strategy," who blinks first before the $120 threshold?
