Traders live and die (financially) by the sword of their decisions. And it has been like this: hear War, buy! Hear Peace, sell! Hear economic news, hmm change that channel and let’s watch the War TV station. Here come the rumours… like Netanyahu promising not to hit Iran’s cities, nuclear plants, nor oil installations. (Can you trust him?) And the overbought market faints. Brent prices correct to the $73+ level. The drop sets the stage for the next uptick and just in time as Israel sort of denies any of the above. It is a ride with certain outcomes. The main players’ economies are facing headwinds and commodity prices reflect that from iron ore to oil. Geopolitics is red hot and any shooting will invite more shooting and this means, buy. But, but, but, the US does not want any shooting and neither do Europe’s main actors. They are financially too wobbly and the US elections means pressure on Israel not to shoot. Make your bets, people, but the outcomes are clear.
