Israel announces a new wave of strikes on Iran and issues incoming missile alert

The announcement of Israel's new strikes on Iran and the issuance of a missile alert signals escalating tensions in the region. This could lead to increased volatility in energy prices, particularly WTI, as market participants assess potential supply disruptions, and may also influence safe-haven flows into currencies like the USD. Given the geopolitical context, traders should stay alert for further developments that could impact sentiment and risk-appetite across the board.
