📌 Situation Assessment

The Kuwait airport attack is the hour’s most significant event — Iran’s direct strike on a Middle East aviation hub signals escalating geopolitical conflict. Crude’s ~2% intraday gain has partially priced this in, but if the conflict spreads to the Strait of Hormuz, oil could spike further. Gold is slightly lower under dollar strength, but safe-haven demand could lift prices at any moment. Wush’s signal to reform Fed communication is worth monitoring — market pricing logic may need recalibration.
