US President Trump says we will hit Iran hard if they kill rioters.
What it means
President Trump's warning to Iran over potential consequences for rioter deaths indicates an escalation in tensions, which could impact market sentiment. The threat may lead to volatility in energy prices, particularly crude oil, as geopolitical risks often factor into supply perceptions. Traders should prepare for potential flight-to-safety moves in currencies like the USD and JPY, while equities may experience downward pressure depending on how these tensions develop.
