Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, in particular the escalation of the Israel-Iran conflict, have pushed oil prices up by 7%. Investors are on alert, waiting for financial markets to open after Israeli attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure. Domestic uncertainties in the US, including protests and the assassination of lawmakers, are also contributing to negative sentiment in the markets. The VIX index has risen, reflecting increased volatility, and economists suggest central banks will not react immediately to rising oil prices.
