In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Mar 2, 2026), Samantha LaDuc explains how escalating Middle East tensions are now being actively priced into markets, with the U.S. dollar, gold, bonds, and energy all moving into risk-off positioning while equities gap lower.
She outlines how oil’s move toward $75, rising distillate prices, and surging LNG costs signal broader inflation and supply shocks, while emphasizing that this is likely the start of prolonged volatility rather than a one-day event.
Iran risk is no longer theoretical — it’s showing up across currencies, commodities, bonds, and stocks, and traders need to stay hedged and prepared for continued market swings.
