Context

The reported strikes on gas-related facilities in Isfahan highlight escalating tensions in the region, likely leading to concerns over energy supply stability. This can influence oil prices, with potential upward pressure on WTI and Brent crude amid fears of further conflict. Additionally, the geopolitical risks may create fluctuations in forex markets, particularly for USD and JPY, as traders assess safe-haven flows and risk sentiment.
