Context
The escalation of military presence in the Middle East, with the U.S. sending three warships and additional marines, indicates heightened tensions that could lead to increased volatility in oil prices and broader market sentiment. While President Trump's assurance against deploying troops on the ground suggests a desire to avoid direct conflict, this military buildup could still trigger risk aversion among investors, influencing flows into safe-haven assets like gold and the USD.
