Just recently, there was talk of a 'total victory'…

but within a matter of hours, the landscape changed completely.

What we have seen in the last 48 hours does not fit with that narrative.

Iran has intensified its response with multiple waves of missiles in a single day, while Israel reports direct impacts in urban areas like Tel Aviv, leaving visible damage and casualties.

But this is no longer an isolated conflict.

The blow is also felt in key strategic points: the oil port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates was attacked with drones, directly affecting one of the most important energy routes in the world.

And in the midst of tension, the United States also enters the radar after an accident involving a military plane during operations in the area.

Now look at the domino effect:

The Strait of Hormuz remains blocked, with hundreds of vessels detained waiting to pass. This is no small matter... it is a key artery of global trade.

Oil reacted as expected: it broke $100 and reached levels close to $118 per barrel.

Traditional markets couldn't withstand the pressure: the S&P 500 marks new lows in what has been 2026.

Meanwhile, smart money does what it always does: moves towards safe havens.

Gold is approaching historical levels, brushing against $5,000 per ounce.

And the crypto market... is not immune either.

Bitcoin remains in the $74K range, but with a sentiment dominated by fear.

Here is where few are paying attention:

Since the end of February, the level of escalation has been strong — hundreds of ballistic missiles and thousands of drones used. This is not a one-time event, it's a sequence.

Then the question is uncomfortable, but necessary:

Was this really 'under control'... or were we simply sold a version that no longer holds?

Because when the narrative breaks, the market reacts.

And when the market reacts, opportunities — and risks — multiply.
