Saudi prince is reportedly said to push US President Trump to continue the Iran war, NYT reports

The report of a Saudi prince urging President Trump to escalate the conflict with Iran could signal increased tensions in the Middle East, potentially impacting oil prices and broader market sentiment. This development may lead to heightened volatility in energy markets, with WTI and Brent crude likely to react, while safe-haven assets like gold may gain favor among investors. Keep an eye on the USD's reaction as geopolitics often drive currency flows, especially in relation to risk assets.
