IRGC says they launched a new attack on targets on Israel and US base in the region, according to reports

The IRGC's announcement of a new attack on Israeli and U.S. targets signifies an escalation in regional tensions, which could impact investor sentiment and lead to an uptick in safe-haven flows, particularly into the USD and gold. This could also have significant ramifications for energy prices, particularly if conflict affects supply routes. The implications for broader market stability might depend on U.S. and international responses to these provocative actions.
