This comes after US forces continued its airstrikes against Iran on 17 Jul 2026 for a 6th day.  No sooner had the June 2026 US’s consumer price index (CPI) report showed a sign of a breather (3.5% vs May’s 4.2%) on US inflation when it was released on Tue, 14 Jul 2026, than the latest military assault once again, raised inflation expectations. What is worse is that Trump is mulling sending ground troops to weaken the Iran Revolutionary Guards (IRG) forces, and Iran issuing an equally forceful counterstrike warning. (see below) If Trump carries out what is currently seen as veiled pressure tactics to get Iran back to the drawing table, all hell will break lose in the stock market and oil prices will mos

During the Iran War, the USD actually strengthened. At least two reasons for that. First, oil couldn’t flow out of the Middle East due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices shot up. Oil is settled in USD—hence the term PetroDollars. Countries suddenly needed more dollars to buy the same amount of oil. The demand for USD went up, strengthening the Dollar. Second, higher oil prices created inflationary pressure. The Fed was unlikely to cut interest rates as aggressively as initially expected. With higher rates on the Dollar, it attracted more demand for USD deposits and bonds—strengthening the USD once more. In the short term, it’s more likely the Iran War is coming to an end, even though there’s still plenty of politicking online between the US and Iran. Oil prices are expected

At the start of the new year, the drama keeps coming. Over the weekend, the United States launched an operation, directly apprehending Venezuela’s president and bringing him to the U.S. for trial; the speed of the action and the precision of the intelligence once again demonstrated America’s military capabilities.
