Context
The statement from US State Department official Dinanno indicates that the Trump administration is contemplating the resumption of nuclear testing, which could heighten geopolitical tensions. This situation may have significant implications for USD strength, particularly if investor sentiment shifts towards risk aversion, impacting equities and commodities such as WTI. The absence of discussions around atmospheric tests suggests a cautious approach that might ease immediate fears but remains a notable worry on the global stage.
