Question
US conducts eighth straight night of strikes on Iran as IRGC targets US bases in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain, killing US troops
Direct answer
The direct US–Iran kinetic exchange is driving a regional risk‑off move, supporting safe‑haven demand for gold (XAUUSD) and US Treasuries (TY1!), lifting Brent crude (LCOc1) on war premium, and pressuring high‑beta regional assets including the Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) and — bullish pressure on DXY.
