Market Turmoil Amid Middle East Speculation and Central Bank Meetings

Speculation regarding potential U.S. military intervention in the Middle East has caused a stir among global investors, drawing significant attention away from ongoing central bank meetings this week.

President Donald Trump's indecisiveness on whether to join Israel in its air campaign against Iran has left markets uneasy, intensifying concerns over a departure from his isolationist foreign policy.

In the face of unpredictable policy shifts, financial markets are anxious about any escalation in Middle Eastern tensions that could prompt a sharp downturn. Meanwhile, hopes for major trade deals are stifled as the deadline for U.S. tariffs approaches.
