Little Prince's Notes - Today's Sharing (Give Little Prince a follow if you find it helpful)
Monday dawn at 6 AM, global markets woke in a familiar aura of danger. This is not a drill—the real storm has arrived.
Oil prices surged, Brent crude climbed above $105, WTI broke through $100—a major milestone. Gold and US stock index futures all gapped down at opening, with some rebound attempts, but panic is written all over the market. Capital's first reaction is direct: oil is more expensive, risks are bigger, time to run.
The situation is escalating. The US launched a surprise attack on Kharg Island, Iran's largest oil export hub—this is Iran's economic lifeline and the global energy supply's "Achilles heel." This isn't "limited conflict," it's severing the jugular. Markets aren't afraid of war itself; they fear Iran's retaliatory blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Once the strait closes, $105 oil is just the starting point—the real "energy tsunami" hasn't been priced in yet.
Although The Wall Street Journal reported the US plans to form an escort coalition to pressure oil prices down, the market simply doesn't believe it. Trump's strategist Hassett said military operations would take 4-6 weeks, but Iran is already prepared for a "war of attrition." The longer the war drags on, the larger the supply gap, and the harder it is for oil prices to reverse.
Global markets have now entered "wartime mode." Bank of America's cross-asset volatility index shows market stress has surged to fastest levels since last year's tariff shock. Everyone's watching Wednesday—the Fed's interest rate decision combined with war uncertainties will be the critical turning point.
Here's the key: now is not about trading the war, it's about trading the "energy shock." As long as oil stays above $100, the market won't have a single day of peace. Bitcoin's recent surge doesn't mean the bull market is back—that's capital buying insurance, funds fleeing to safe havens amid panic. Don't chase the high! All these rallies are illusions. The more violent the rise, the harder the fall—correction is inevitable.
Little Prince's reminder: Now is not the time for greed—it's the time to survive. Don't be seduced by surging prices or believe the "Bitcoin at $100,000" nonsense. Risk management first, staying alive is what matters most. See you Wednesday for the real test. Stay steady, don't mess around.
