With missile and drone strikes already flying in the Middle East, traders are biting their nails.

Oil Prices Plummet: Chaos Alert!
As tensions climb, oil prices took a dive on Friday—traders heaving a sigh of relief that Trump’s military action is postponed. But don’t get too comfortable! This delay means two weeks of panic for financial markets! Experts warn that while investors see this Middle Eastern mess as a minor issue, the implications could be massive and far-reaching!
Federal Reserve on the Brink: Interest Rate Cut Incoming?
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is stirring the pot! Christopher Waller dropped a bombshell saying they might chop interest rates as soon as July! They’ve held them steady for FOUR meetings straight, but is the central bank ready to shake things up? Trump has been pushing HARD for cuts since his inauguration, and the economic outlook is already looking shaky!
Watch out! Analysts are throwing cold water on the Fed’s optimism, warning that slumping housing construction could create a perfect storm of economic challenges. Samuel Tombs and Oliver Allen are making it clear—there’s more trouble on the horizon!
