    On April 12th, Pepperstone strategist Dilin Wu stated that the failure of the US-Iran agreement has firmly established uncertainty. The recent strengthening of the dollar, accompanied by a slight decline in US Treasury yields, is a fairly reasonable pricing outcome. After the initial shock of the news subsides, the reaction of US Treasuries could become more complex. Short-term yields may continue to decline slightly due to safe-haven demand, but if oil prices continue to rise, they will quickly re-anchor to higher inflation expectations, thus putting new upward pressure on long-term yields. Monday is also likely to see the energy and defense sectors outperform the broader market, opening with a significant upward gap. The energy sector is the most direct beneficiary of supply-side contraction, while the defense sector reflects the rising geopolitical risk premium and its more persistent characteristics. However, the magnitude of market volatility will depend on two key factors—the sustainability of the oil price strength and whether the market confirms that this is a sustained supply shock, rather than just a short-term, sentiment-driven reaction.

    On April 12th, Saxo Bank's Chief Investment Strategist, Charu Chanana, stated that the failure of the US-Iran negotiations was a setback. For the market, this means the previous easing of tensions is likely to fade. Oil prices may rebound, risk sentiment will be dampened again, and the Strait of Hormuz, even without a complete closure, will remain a real choke point risk. However, this is not surprising given the significant differences in the two sides' positions on nuclear safeguards and the Strait of Hormuz issue. For the US dollar, this means some renewed safe-haven support, but unless there is a new military escalation, a broad-based surge is unlikely. Gold may benefit from renewed geopolitical hedging demand, but the market is not yet fully back to the worst-case inflation shock scenario.
