Moderate impact Short-term (days)
WHAT THIS MEANS
Market sentiment suggests investors believe the U.S. is seeking a diplomatic resolution to Iran tensions rather than military escalation, reducing geopolitical risk premiums. This perception is supporting risk-on positioning across equities and reducing safe-haven demand for traditional hedges.
