馃暟️ A Critically Delicate Moment
In just one week, the world has entered a dangerously escalating situation:
-
Israel and Iran have been exchanging open fire for five consecutive days.
-
Donald Trump left the G7 yesterday, creating an unprecedented diplomatic rupture amid an ongoing conflict Video.
-
Civilian and military casualties continue to rise as traditional diplomatic systems appear ineffective.
-
Financial markets are reacting with sharp swings: stock market rallies, gold pullbacks, and surging oil prices.
Geopolitical analysts across Europe, the U.S., the Middle East, and Asia all agree: we are facing a historic tipping point.
馃攷 Why Is Trump’s G7 Exit So Significant?
The G7 represents the core of the Western democratic alliance.
Trump’s departure:
-
Breaks Western diplomatic unity.
-
Reduces the chances of coordinated multilateral pressure on Iran.
-
Increases the risk of unilateral U.S. military action.
-
Encourages other regional players (Russia, China) to redefine their roles.
Trump’s message is clear: The U.S. is ready to act alone if deemed necessary.
馃幆 What Options Are Now on the Table?
According to expert analysts and military intelligence sources, there are currently three main scenarios:
1️⃣ Temporary Containment (Most Likely Short-Term Scenario – 40%)
-
An indirect ceasefire is brokered through unofficial channels (Qatar, Russia, Turkey).
-
No direct attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
-
Markets regain some stability but remain volatile.
2️⃣ Limited Escalation (30%)
-
Israel intensifies its selective strikes.
-
Iran retaliates with mid-range missiles targeting Saudi Arabia, the UAE, or U.S. bases.
-
The U.S. increases its naval presence in the Gulf without immediate strikes.
-
Oil and gold prices surge. Stock markets decline.
3️⃣ Direct Confrontation (Rapidly Growing Risk – 30%)
-
The U.S. leads a surgical strike on Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
-
Iran activates proxy networks: Hezbollah, Yemen, Syria, Shia militias in Iraq.
-
Possible partial blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
-
Crude oil prices may exceed $150 per barrel, gold could reach all-time highs.
-
Global stock markets would likely experience a sharp correction.
馃挵 How Should Investors Prepare?
As we always say at Feliz y Saludable:
We cannot control geopolitical events, but we can prepare financially:
-
Maintain high liquidity.
-
Diversify assets across multiple currencies (USD, CHF, EUR).
-
Increase exposure to defensive assets: high-grade bonds, precious metals, infrastructure, energy, defense.
-
Consider risk hedging (portfolio insurance, put options, inverse ETFs).
-
Avoid aggressive speculative positions during high uncertainty.
馃敭 Conclusion: A New Global Order Is Taking Shape
This conflict goes far beyond Israel and Iran.
We are witnessing a global realignment where:
-
The U.S.–China-Russia rivalry intensifies.
-
Europe remains divided and weakened.
-
The G7 loses influence as a global governance mechanism.
-
Financial markets remain vulnerable to "black swan" events with potentially devastating effects.
