🧵 US-Iran Tensions: Markets on the Brink 🧵 📢 As geopolitical tensions escalate between the US and Iran, financial markets are on edge, weighing potential disruptions against oversupply risks. This thread dissects the implications of a full-blown conflict on key financial assets, drawing from recent oil market analyses and incorporating the latest on Saudi gold discoveries. 💰 Gold: - Gold could surge as a safe-haven amid heightened uncertainties from a US-Iran war. Prolonged conflict might sustain elevated prices due to global instability, but a swift resolution or market shifts could lead to a pullback. Recent reports from Saudi Arabia highlight Maaden's addition of 7.8 million ounces of new gold resources across four sites as of January 2026, potentially increasing global supply and capping long-term upside if production ramps up. 🛢️ Oil: - Conventional wisdom suggests a war would disrupt Iranian supplies and the Strait of Hormuz, spiking prices. However, with Iran holding ~160 million barrels in floating storage (mostly condensate from South Pars gas production), any regime change or sanctions relief could flood the market, crashing prices from ~$60 to $40 or lower. The market fears this inventory dump more than shortages, especially with 2026's wall of new supply from Brazil (+400k bpd at $35 breakeven), Guyana (+200k at $35-45), Canada (+200k at $45), and US/others (+200k at $40). Total new supply: ~1M bpd, absorbing demand growth at low costs. 🌐 US30 (Dow Jones): - The Dow could face initial sell-offs in a risk-off climate, though defence stocks might rally. Broader fears of economic fallout from energy volatility could weigh on sentiment, but if conflict leads to lower oil prices long-term, it might support rebounds in non-energy sectors. 🇬🇧 FTSE: - With heavy exposure to energy and commodities, the FTSE might dip on supply chain concerns and higher short-term energy costs. Yet, if war precipitates an oil glut via Iranian dumps, it could benefit importers, while arms-related firms gain if alliances tighten. 💹 Major Currencies: - The USD could strengthen as a safe haven during escalation, pressuring EUR/USD and GBP/USD lower. If oil prices ultimately fall from oversupply, it might ease inflation, allowing currencies like GBP to recover if UK benefits from cheaper energy. 🔄 Market Volatility: - The VIX could spike amid geopolitical chaos, with traders bracing for swings in oil narratives—from disruption fears to glut realities. Prolonged uncertainty might keep volatility elevated, positioning for potential black swans. 💡 A Financial Perspective: - Historically, Middle East conflicts jolt markets with oil volatility, but current dynamics (Iran's floating storage and 2026 supply wave) suggest a twist: war might trigger short-term spikes, yet lead to crashes if it unlocks Iranian barrels, echoing past oversupply episodes amid deficits in producers like Saudi Arabia ($44B shortfall at $60 oil). On the gold front, Saudi's new discoveries could further influence supply dynamics, potentially offsetting some safe-haven demand in a prolonged conflict. 📌 Conclusion: Markets are holding steady as US-Iran risks unfold, balancing disruption against potential gluts. A war could redefine asset plays, while Saudi gold boosts add a layer of supply-side pressure. Monitor diplomatic and oil storage developments closely.

BREAKING: President Trump says a "massive Armada" is heading to Iran and "like with Venezuela, it is ready, willing, and able to fulfill its mission." "Time is running out, make a deal, the next attack will be far worse," Trump says
Our oil bags might go parabolic I fear 😬💰
Secured majority of the position last week but kept a little runner to see what it can achieve. Over 100pips and counting!
Quick scalp action on USDCAD to finish off what has been a fantastic week of not only trading, but life in general. Lot of inner work is being done. I am diving deep into the depths of my mind and psyche to understand how to get to the next level. I will be posting more on this.
