The recent Iranian missile attack on Israel has significantly impacted global financial markets. Major stock indices like the Dow Jones and Nasdaq fell by around 1.5%, reflecting investor unease.

The price of Brent crude oil surged by 2.6% to $73.56 per barrel, driven by concerns over potential disruptions in oil supply from the Middle East. Gold, often seen as a safe haven in times of crisis, reached a new record high, increasing by about 1% to over $2,600 per ounce.

Analysts, including Joe Mazzola from Charles Schwab, have noted the market’s heightened sensitivity to the escalating tensions in the region. The conflict has also caused a notable rise in defense stocks, while companies like Boeing consider capital increases.

Additionally, the crypto market has not been immune, with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies experiencing a decline amid the geopolitical instability. As the situation evolves, investors remain vigilant, closely monitoring developments and their potential economic repercussions.
