The Iran situation has shaken things up worldwide. Oil prices jumped, and gold hit a record high. What stands out to me is how easily global markets react to conflicts. Energy and gold prices show that right away. I think higher oil costs could hurt countries that rely on imports, while gold is becoming an even safer bet for investors. It's interesting to see how markets respond to both supply/demand and political worries. My main thought is that governments and companies better get ready for things to be unstable for a long time. Basically, what's happening in Iran reminds us that politics and the economy are totally tied together.
