Geopolitics & Market Sentiment
Iran-Israel conflict enters its sixth day, raising fears of broader escalation.
Speculation is building that Donald Trump may authorize the use of the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (bunker-buster bomb) to target Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Trump is also meeting with Pakistan’s army chief today for talks on Iran, adding to geopolitical uncertainty.
So far, Iran’s oil infrastructure remains intact, and Hezbollah has stayed out of the conflict, limiting immediate economic fallout.
Fed & Rates Outlook
The Federal Reserve is expected to hold rates steady today as it waits for clearer economic signals amid ongoing Trump policy shifts.
Trump is pressuring the Fed, now arguing for lower rates to cut US debt costs.
Traders are building record positions betting on a dovish Fed shift after Powell's term ends in May 2026.
Market Implications for NSDQ100
Nasdaq futures are mildly positive, supported by:
Stability in tech earnings outlook
Expectations of Fed staying on hold, with a possible dovish bias emerging
However, Middle East tensions remain a risk. Any strike on oil infrastructure or major military escalation could:
Trigger a risk-off move
Push oil prices higher, raising inflation concerns
Weigh on tech stocks sensitive to rate outlooks and sentiment
Key Focus for Nasdaq Traders Today:
Fed decision and Powell’s tone (especially on inflation and growth risks)
Headlines from the Middle East
Oil price action near the five-month high (WTI around $73.50–$74)
Resistance Level 1: 22070
Resistance Level 2: 22370
