We’re heading into the weekend holiday, with traditional markets closed. To avoid any surprises on Monday, let’s review the latest developments along the Iran-US axis: - Iran struck again today, and we know the US does not let such actions go unanswered—there’s a likely chance of a counterstrike tonight. - If the US responds, and Iran retaliates in turn, the cycle of escalation could unsettle markets. - Iran has again claimed it targeted civilian vessels today. - Conflicting statements are emerging—some claiming negotiations are ongoing, others denying them—leaving the situation ambiguous. - Reports suggest a potential land blockade against Iran, but I find these unconvincing; however, given the heightened tensions, they could still move markets. Given this context, it’s wiser to avoid holding significant positions over the weekend—anything can shift abruptly overnight, especially under Trump’s leadership. #gold #bitcoin #oil
