Tech-driven capital flows concentrate wealth in AI-sector economies (US, Japan, South Korea), while geopolitical tensions in Middle East create competing investment narratives. US dollar strengthens, reinforcing American financial dominance. Hopes for Middle East peace resolution reduce traditional safe-haven demand.
Similar to 2010-2011 when tech booms coexisted with Middle East instability; markets initially decoupled fundamentals from geopolitics before corrections occurred.
