Market Mood: 🔴 Risk-Off Although the Iranian draft agreement briefly boosted markets, new US strikes, Trump's tough stance, and Israel's escalated operations quickly reversed risk appetite, with risk aversion dominating. Drivers: Renewed US-Iran military conflict / Trump refuses sanctions waivers / Hormuz shipping uncertainty / Escalation in Lebanon-Israel situation

TL;DR - The US military has launched new strikes on Iranian military facilities. - Iran's state TV discloses a peace draft agreement, raising peace talk expectations. - Israel issues evacuation orders in southern Lebanon; multi-front risks persist, keeping market sentiment cautious.

Summary The US-Iran conflict is escalating on both military and diplomatic fronts: the US military has launched new strikes on Iran, Trump insists on maximum pressure, but Iran has signaled a draft agreement, causing sharp oil price volatility. Israel has expanded operations in Lebanon, with regional risks spilling over. Markets swing between risk aversion and peace expectations, with asset prices showing a volatile pattern.

Key Transmission Paths - US strikes Iran → Hormuz tension → oil risk premium - Trump refuses sanctions relief → Iran oil supply constrained → crude price support - Iran draft agreement expectations → oil price plunge → risk assets short-term rebound - Israel-Lebanon conflict escalation → Middle East turmoil spillover → safe-haven asset demand

Contradictions / Divergences - While US launches new strikes on Iran, Iran state TV releases peace draft. - Trump threatens to bomb Oman on one hand, then says 'they'll be fine'; stance wavers. - Oil prices plunge on peace talk expectations, but geopolitical risks have not materially decreased. - Israel escalates Lebanon operations while US and Iran near agreement; different fronts diverge in pace.

Lessons Learned - Markets are highly sensitive to news; geopolitical premiums enter and exit quickly. - The blockade effect of the Strait of Hormuz is weakened by ghost fleets. - During periods when peace talk expectations coexist with military actions, asset volatility spikes.
