Following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, stock futures declined as market participants assessed potential geopolitical ramifications. Oil prices surged, reflecting anxieties about possible disruptions to crude supply due to retaliation from Tehran. Although officials emphasized the strikes were targeted and not aimed at regime change, this escalation marks a significant U.S. involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict. Despite initial market anxiety, some analysts believe the threat from Iran could ultimately benefit growth prospects in the Middle East and technology sectors.
The market will view this Iran threat as now gone and that is a positive for growth in the broader Middle East and ultimately the tech sector.
Expect oil to open with a sharp 7-10% gap up as risk premiums surge. But don't be fooled, this may not last long.
