President Donald Trump has expressed confidence that the United States is not at risk of retaliatory terror attacks from Iran despite the ongoing conflict. These remarks come amid intensifying military tensions involving the U.S. and Israel against Iranian interests. Trump issued a stark warning, stating that the U.S. military possesses the capability to strike specific Iranian facilities with such speed and force that the nation would be unable to rebuild. Global financial markets are closely monitoring this escalating rhetoric, which typically drives volatility in safe-haven assets and energy commodities. Investors are particularly focused on the potential impact on WTI crude oil prices and gold XAU/USD as risk premiums rise. Additionally, defense sector equities such as LMT and RTX remain in focus as geopolitical uncertainty persists.
