At 10:00 PM Eastern Time on June 21, U.S. President Trump delivered a speech on the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, stating that Iran's key nuclear facilities have been "completely destroyed."
Overall Sentiment:
The weekend's focus was entirely dominated by President Trump. On Friday, Trump indicated that military action wasn't certain, but on Saturday, he suddenly struck, catching Iran off guard. Iran's nuclear facilities have likely been heavily damaged.
Once the conflict begins, there are two possible paths: if the U.S. gets bogged down like Russia, it could pose a long-term shock to the U.S. economy; if it's a swift resolution, the impact will be minimal.
Oil prices surged briefly but remained restrained. The market seems to expect a quick resolution. 0 reply
