This session focused on how the U.S.-Iran situation may affect oil, gold, U.S. stocks, the dollar, Treasuries, and crypto under different scenarios, with special attention to the key one- to three-week window ahead.Guest Speaker: Cheng Jun (CME Guest Lecturer with more than 10 years of margin trading experience, specializing in gold and FX trading through a combination of macro analysis and Demark technical analysis)Course Link1. The current market narrative is still primarily driven by changes in the geopolitical situationMost assets are still following the same pattern: they come under pressure when tensions rise and rebound whe

Since April 9, developments between the United States and Iran have broadly followed a pattern of “ceasefire implementation and advancing negotiations, but fragile execution and unresolved disagreements.” After the two-week temporary ceasefire entered the implementation stage, the Strait of Hormuz nominally resumed limited shipping, yet the actual volume of vessel traffic remained extremely low, suggesting that maritime tensions had not genuinely eased. Then, on April 10 and 11, the United States and Iran held high-level talks in Islamabad, discussing sanctions arrangements, ceasefire boundaries, and navigation through the strait. Despite the lengthy discussions, however, no substantive breakthrough was achieved. From April 13 to 15, there were brief expectations that the ceasefire might b

Recently, the core variable in crude oil trading has still been the evolving situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Based on the information currently available, a second round of negotiations between the United States and Iran has already been put on the agenda. That, in itself, is a very important development. It suggests that the Strait of Hormuz crisis is moving away from a war-based resolution path and gradually shifting toward a negotiation-based one. In other words, the situation is easing rather than escalating. This shift matters because it directly changes the pricing logic of crude oil. If the market was previously trading on the assumption of escalating conflict, supply disruption, and uncontrolled risk, it is now beginning to price in easing tensions, advancing dialogue, and a dec

Against the backdrop of the macro environment, this class focuses on the correlations among major U.S. asset classes, with an emphasis on the trends of U.S. stock indices and precious metals (CME COMEX gold futures & options, silver futures & options). It also provides brief comments on the current rapidly changing geopolitical situation, highlighting the importance of identifying trading opportunities and risk control amid uncertainty.

Just started so see how things go 

Hi the latest news The day after talks collapsed, Trump escalated hard. US Central Command announced a blockade of all maritime traffic to and from Iranian ports, and Trump threatened to prevent ships from passing through the Strait of Hormuz entirely. NBC News He also said the US military is looking at resuming limited strikes inside Iran. The Strait carries roughly 20% of the world's oil supply. Any serious disruption there hits energy prices, shipping costs, and global risk appetite all at once. We are not in full escalation yet — but the direction of travel is not comforting, and investors who are not paying attention are going to get caught off guard. Even as the situation escalated, stocks wavered and oil held relatively steady — which tells you something important. The market is alr

Firstly The price action was already showing resiliency last Thursday before the Good Friday holiday. The market went down initially following Trump’s national address over the Iran war update, as investors were anticipating an end to the war—but Trump said to continue instead. Yet the market recovered almost all its losses by end of day, showing strength. Some investors may still think that the worst isn’t over because the ceasefire looks fragile—Israel is bombarding Lebanon and Iran said the ceasefire includes non-bombing of Lebanon. Iran has continued to restrict ship passage through the Strait of Hormuz to about a dozen a day and is imposing tolls. The US isn’t happy about the tolls as the ceasefire was contingent on an open Hormuz. The following Tuesday was the deadline for Iran to op

USO BOUNCES TO $126 AFTER A 10% PLUNGE: IS THIS A TRAP OR A GENUINE BOTTOM? USO edged up almost 2% today to $126.96, staging a desperate technical recovery after yesterday's violent, near-10% wipeout. The catalyst for the plunge? The geopolitical risk premium tied to the U.S.-Iran ceasefire window is rapidly nearing exhaustion. For weeks, the market priced in the worst-case supply disruption scenario. Now that diplomatic channels are showing signs of life, that fear premium is evaporating. But with massive macro headwinds looming and a heavy technical ceiling right above at $130, traders need to ask themselves a hard question: is this a stabilization point to buy, or just a dead cat bounce offering a better short entry? 1.

I think the ceasefire will hold as both sides need a breather, so oil futures will be bearish for awhile.  @amxt88  @Noobilicious  @DaRunner  @Gavin1049  @elmo300  @TigerPM  @Tiger Trade Feed  @pretiming  @Spiders  

Oil’s rebound matters more than the headline drop. Yes, crude crashed after the ceasefire, but the market is already showing that the energy risk premium did not disappear overnight. Brent fell sharply on the initial truce news, yet supply concerns around Hormuz, tanker movement, and infrastructure damage are still keeping the floor under oil much higher than pre-crisis levels. That is why I think this bounce in oil is worth respecting. A near-10% plunge can unwind panic fast, but when prices stabilize quickly after that, it tells me the market still believes the Middle East supply story is not fully resolved. Even after the ceasefire announcement, major outlets noted the truce was fragile and shipping through the Strait remained uncertain. My take: this looks less like “risk premium is go

Oil will rebound there will be breakdown with peace treaty to many Rosters in the pot, Trump is waiting for midterms to over then resume bombing if Iran

USO just clawed back 1.91% to $126.96, staging a technical recovery after yesterday's near-10% plunge as the geopolitical risk premium tied to the U.S.-Iran ceasefire window nears exhaustion. 😤 This snapback highlights oil's sensitivity to any sign of de-escalation, but the broader picture remains murky with OPEC+ production increase expectations looming and slowing global demand growth capping medium-term upside. $130 stands as the immediate resistance level that bulls must conquer to confirm sustained momentum. With the ceasefire providing temporary breathing room, the big question is whether this rebound stabilizes within the window or sets up another breakdown-driven move if talks falter. Emerging markets are watching closely, with Latin America's commodity flows pulling inflows 8% as
