The whole week, markets will watch how Israel will respond to an Iranian attack.

💡 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀?

Following last week's alleged Israeli strike on Iranian military commanders in Syria, markets were rattled by reports of a potential imminent Iranian retaliation against Israel. These rumors intensified geopolitical concerns and sparked risk aversion late on Friday. Investors, wary of the potential for market gaps at Monday's opening if an attack occurred, moved to minimize risks. This led to a broad sell-off across all asset classes, including currencies, indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and even gold.

The Iranian attack did take place on Saturday in the form of drone and rocket launches towards Israel, after which Iran said in a statement to the UN that it believes "this matter can be concluded." Israel is not expected to attack Iran to avoid escalating the conflict and expanding the war to the entire Middle East.

After Iran attacked Israel, traders and investors quickly closed their positions to preserve capital in light of escalating tensions. Market dynamics now heavily depend on Israel's next move. Deciding not to retaliate could help stabilize market volatility, potentially supporting indices and metal prices as risk sentiment improves. Conversely, if Israel opts to retaliate, it could trigger a wider conflict in the Middle East.
