Israeli cities and towns are to prepare for the possibility of the conflict resuming, Al Hadath reports citing Yedioth Ahronoth

The report suggesting that Israeli cities are preparing for a potential resumption of conflict underscores heightened geopolitical risks in the region. Such developments typically support safe-haven assets like gold and could lead to volatility in energy markets, especially for crude oil prices, as traders reassess geopolitical dynamics and potential supply disruptions. Additionally, the softening of risk sentiment could impact currency pairs involving the USD, EUR, and JPY as markets react to increased uncertainty.
