President Trump has authorized military action against Iran, with strikes potentially beginning as early as this weekend. The order was reported by the Wall Street Journal and confirmed across multiple outlets. No further operational details have been disclosed publicly.
Imminent U.S. military action against Iran puts oil supply routes, particularly the Strait of Hormuz, at direct risk. Energy stocks may spike while equities broadly sell off on the uncertainty. Safe-haven assets like gold and Treasury bonds typically attract capital fast in this kind of scenario.
This weekend: potential commencement of U.S. strikes on Iran. Monday market open: watch crude oil futures and equity futures for immediate repricing. Next weekly EIA crude inventory report for any supply disruption signals.
