US economic resilience reinforces dollar strength and market leadership, while Iran tensions challenge energy security and shift risk premiums. Asian markets demonstrate dependency on US economic signals and Middle East stability for investment confidence.
Similar to 2019 Saudi Aramco attacks: geopolitical shocks trigger oil volatility and market swings, but strong economic fundamentals can offset security concerns if perceived as temporary.
