US Futures Market Opening
Following the US attack on Iran, the futures market will open.
So far, the US and Israel have eliminated most of Iran’s key figures, but one thing has not happened yet.
“Regime change.”
And this will cause a lot of instability.
Iran is still launching missiles, which signals further escalation, and the market really doesn’t like that.
There’s a high chance that the US stock futures market will drop sharply, and if that happens, prepare for a major crash in the cryptocurrency market.
Strait of Hormuz
This is the most critical factor in the ongoing conflict.
20% of global oil supply passes through this strait, and it has faced disruptions.
Some oil tankers are turning back and not passing through due to fears of missile attacks.
This is causing a shock to oil supply, and the market predicts the situation could worsen.
Some analysts forecast oil prices could surge above $100 per barrel if the war continues for a while longer.
High oil prices mean higher inflation, which will have a serious impact on the market.
Additionally, major countries like China, Japan, and India get 70%-80% of their oil from this route, and if it gets blocked, their economies could face a major crisis.
And the market won’t wait for that to happen because it always acts in advance.
That’s why I believe the next 24-48 hours will determine the fate of the global economy in 2026.
