Amid escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, market dynamics are shifting from short-term geopolitical event trading to long-term conflict pricing. This shift is impacting oil, shipping, insurance, supply chain costs, and inflation expectations, alongside changes in central bank policies. Investors are focusing on hard assets like Bitcoin, gold, and copper, as well as resource sectors such as energy, mining, and shipping. Bitcoin, in particular, is being considered an 'escape asset' due to capital flow restrictions, though its recent price surge is primarily driven by liquidity and speculation. Additionally, sectors like AI, commercial space, drones, and strategic metals are seen as benefiting in the long term. The U.S. faces pressure from rising oil prices and inflation, with potential stagflation risks affecting the attractiveness of dollar assets. Overall, a defensive trading strategy is recommended, maintaining core positions, hedging with put options, and diversifying currency allocations.
