The main driver? The Middle East. ๐ŸŒ ๐™ˆ๐™ž๐™™๐™™๐™ก๐™š ๐™€๐™–๐™จ๐™ฉ: ๐™š๐™จ๐™˜๐™–๐™ก๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃโ€ฆ ๐™—๐™ช๐™ฉ ๐™–๐™ก๐™จ๐™ค ๐™– ๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ง๐™ง๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ซ๐™š ๐™ค๐™› ๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ง ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ The conflict between the United States and Iran continues to be the main catalyst for global markets: โ€ข direct attacks and Iranian responses on multiple fronts โ€ข tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and risk of an energy supply shock โ€ข indirect involvement of other regional actors At the same time, signals of possible de-escalation are increasing. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ ๐™’๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™๐™ง๐™ช๐™ข๐™ฅ ๐™จ๐™–๐™ž๐™™ In recent conferences and statements, Donald Trump indicated that: โ€ข the war could end โ€œwithin 2โ€“3 weeksโ€ โ€ข Iran may have shown openness to a ceasefire (denied by Tehran) โ€ข the U.S. could exit the conflict quickly, while maintaining targeted intervention capabilities A mix of conflicting signals that highlights how difficult it will be to resolve the conflict. ๐Ÿ“ˆ ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™ง๐™ ๐™š๐™ฉ ๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™˜๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ: ๐™ง๐™ž๐™จ๐™ -๐™ค๐™ฃ (๐™—๐™ช๐™ฉ ๐™ข๐™–๐™ฎ๐™—๐™š ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ก๐™ฎ ๐™—๐™ง๐™ž๐™š๐™›๐™ก๐™ฎ) For a few days, markets chose to believe in the best-case scenario: โ€ข global equities surged (led by Europe and Asia) โ€ข oil initially dropped, but after Trumpโ€™s latest statements, volatility returned above $100 โ€ข the dollar weakened, but has regained strength in recent hours โš ๏ธ ๐˜ฝ๐™ช๐™ฉ ๐™—๐™š ๐™˜๐™–๐™ง๐™š๐™›๐™ช๐™ก: ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ง๐™ž๐™จ๐™  ๐™๐™–๐™จ ๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ฉ ๐™™๐™ž๐™จ๐™–๐™ฅ๐™ฅ๐™š๐™–๐™ง๐™š๐™™ The market is likely pricing in an overly optimistic scenario: โ€ข the Strait of Hormuz remains a critical point โ€ข regional involvement could expand โ€ข energy costs remain high (latent inflationary shock) Moreover, some political statements (such as a possible reconsideration of the role in NATO) introduce additional elements of instabilityโ€”especially on the Russiaโ€“Ukraine front. In these situations, it becomes increasingly important to watch the bond market to understand where investors are truly positioning themselves and what the next market moves might be. The bond market, in fact, has not reacted like equities: this suggests that investors still expect pressure on interest rates. ๐Ÿฆ ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™˜๐™ง๐™ค ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™˜๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™–๐™ก ๐™—๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ ๐™จ Meanwhile: โ€ข U.S. data remains broadly solid (resilient labor market and consumption) โ€ข markets are starting to price in rate cuts toward the end of the year โ€ข central banks remain cautious in the face of energy shocks ๐Ÿ’ก ๐™๐™–๐™ ๐™š๐™–๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ฎ๐™จ ๐™›๐™ค๐™ง ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ซ๐™š๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ง๐™จ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Todayโ€™s market is driven more by political narrative than by data ๐Ÿ‘‰ Volatility will remain high (especially in energy and rates) ๐Ÿ‘‰ Be careful not to chase โ€œheadline-drivenโ€ rallies โš–๏ธ ๐™Ž๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™–๐™ฉ๐™š๐™œ๐™ฎ โ€ข maintain diversification โ€ข increase selectivity in equities โ€ข if inflation risk remains high, rate expectations could rise, and a strong dollar could act as a headwind for gold Thank you for your support, donโ€™t forget to copy the portfolio. $NSDQ100 $GOLD $OIL $EURUSD
