MERCADOS: La geopolítica boicotea a Wall Street, el agotamiento de SpaceX y el dólar se dispara

MARKETS: Geopolitics boycotts Wall Street, SpaceX's exhaustion sends the dollar soaring Geopolitics doesn't take days off or respect market holidays. The last session of the week was calm due to the holiday closure on Wall Street, but international stock exchanges abruptly halted trading in the face of a last-minute diplomatic earthquake between Washington and Tehran. US Vice President J.D. Vance canceled his emergency trip to Switzerland, abruptly ending the peace negotiations scheduled for today with the ayatollahs' regime. The trigger was the latest wave of Israeli attacks on Lebanon, a factor of systemic instability that immediately sent Brent crude oil rebounding to the psychological threshold of $80 per barrel, shattering the optimism of investors who had already written off the risk in the Middle East. This setback in the diplomatic thaw has generated an immediate triple impact on trading screens. First, investors rushed to hedge, sending the US dollar index soaring against major global currencies. Second, the fixed-income market came under intense strain: yields on British bonds soared, reigniting nervousness and concern in the City of London over rising borrowing costs. Finally, in the European equity market, indices are suffering from low volume and volatility driven by the energy sector. The Spanish stock market is a clear reflection of this resilient scenario, with the Ibex 35 fighting tooth and nail to consolidate and hold the 19,300-point technical barrier on a day without the New York benchmark. #markets #geopolitics #wallstreet #spacex #dollar #war #usa #stockmarket #elonmusk #useconomy #middleeast #iran #intereconomia
