On June 17, 2025, U.S. stock futures experienced a downturn following President Donald Trump’s urgent call for the evacuation of Tehran residents amid intensifying conflicts between Israel and Iran. This development has heightened investor concerns, leading to a shift towards safe-haven assets.
President Trump, cutting short his attendance at the G7 summit in Canada, emphasized the necessity for Iran to prevent the acquisition of nuclear weapons. His statements have added to the geopolitical uncertainty affecting global markets.
In response to the escalating tensions, oil prices have surged due to fears of supply disruptions. Brent crude rose over 9% to $75.55 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) increased by 7.3% to $72.91 per barrel. These spikes reflect concerns over potential blockades in critical oil transit routes.
Investors are closely monitoring the situation, as further developments could significantly impact global economic stability and market performance
