Trump's Iran speech roils Asian markets ahead of long weekend. Trump's intraday speech Thursday sparked broad selling across Asian equities. The NIKKEI dropped nearly two percent, India's Nifty futures fell over two percent, and the Hang Seng declined one percent, with the ASX200 following suit. Oil prices surged while gold retreated, and the U.S. ten-year bond yield crept back toward uncomfortable four point four percent territory. Market analysts are advising caution before the weekend, noting Trump's historical tendency to make significant announcements during extended breaks. The consensus recommendation is clear: avoid trading positions ahead of Tuesday's open until geopolitical tensions clarify and volatility subsides.
