Following Iran's missile strikes on US bases in Iraq and Qatar, which appeared to be intercepted, oil prices plummeted 7.2%, while US stocks rallied. Traders believe Iran's response was limited, and the lack of further escalation is boosting market confidence. The Dow rose significantly, and the overall market sentiment shifted to 'Greed'. Experts suggest Iran's attack was symbolic, aiming to de-escalate the situation. Despite initial concerns, safe-haven assets like gold remained relatively stable, and the dollar's reaction was mixed, highlighting the complexity of market responses to geopolitical events.
