## Prediction

Over the coming week, continuation of Iran–Israel–US tensions, coupled with Hormuz and Red Sea threats, is likely to sustain a rotation into traditional safe havens, with gold and the US dollar outperforming risk assets from emerging markets and energy-importing economies. Equity volatility will remain elevated, particularly in sectors exposed to shipping, airlines, and energy-intensive manufacturing. This dynamic will amplify funding pressures for weaker sovereigns with high external debt and oil import dependence. Confirmation would be rising gold prices, a stronger DXY, and underperformance of EM FX; denial would come from a credible, visible de-escalation that reassures markets.

## Drivers

- Multi-front strikes involving Iran, Israel, US bases, and commercial shipping
- Trend: global markets increasingly treat Middle East shocks as multi-asset events
- Trump’s comments promising near-term resolution and oil volatility
