The Polymarket predictions indicating a prolonged conflict in Iran suggest heightened geopolitical risks, which could lead to increased oil prices due to potential supply disruptions in the Middle East. This may contribute to broader market volatility and a risk-off sentiment among investors, negatively impacting global stock indices and currencies. However, if the market has already priced in these tensions, the actual financial impact might be limited.
