## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, the US dollar, US Treasuries, and gold are likely to see a strong safe-haven bid as markets digest impending US bank sanctions and intensifying Iran-related maritime disruption. Risk assets—especially EM FX with sanctions or oil-import exposure—will underperform as investors derisk. Elevated yields at the front end may partially retrace as growth fears overshadow inflation worries. Confirmation would be broad DXY strength, lower long-dated Treasury yields, and a meaningful uptick in gold prices; denial would require a surprisingly benign sanction choice and fast signs of maritime de-escalation.

## Drivers

- Warning of US sanctions on a 'large bank' raising systemic risk fears
- Escalating maritime attacks near Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb
- US diesel and gasoline prices breaching $6 per gallon increasing recession concerns
- Historical pattern of safe-haven flows during simultaneous financial and geopolitical shocks
