## Prediction

Over seven days, continued Israel–Iran exchanges, Houthi Red Sea threats, and Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy will likely sustain a multi-asset flight to safety, supporting gold, U.S. Treasuries, and defensive equities while pressuring risk assets. Energy-importing EM currencies and equities—particularly in Europe and parts of Asia—will face headwinds from higher fuel costs and volatility, while defense and energy stocks outperform. The correlation between geopolitical headlines and intraday moves in gold and oil will remain elevated, complicating central bank signaling. Confirmation would be persistent strength in gold prices, widening credit spreads, and sectoral rotation toward defense and energy; a surprisingly robust diplomatic de-escalation would flatten these moves.

## Drivers

- Emerging trend that global markets treat Middle East shocks as multi-asset events
- Integrated repricing of geopolitical risk amid Middle East and Russia–Ukraine shocks
- Ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure and shipping routes
