The escalating situation in the Middle East is forcing investors to reassess the annual strategy of "sell America, buy Asia." The dual pressure of soaring oil prices and a strengthening dollar has led to capital outflows in Asian markets, which heavily rely on oil imports from the Middle East. The MSCI Asia-Pacific Index has fallen significantly more than U.S. stocks this week, with previous gains driven by artificial intelligence being concentrated for profit-taking. Analysts state that although a technical rebound occurred on Thursday, macroeconomic suppression factors remain, and crowded long positions still have room for further unwinding

- Investors are re-evaluating profitable stock strategies in light of Middle East tensions, with the once-popular "sell America, buy Asia" trade facing a critical turning point.  
- The MSCI Asia-Pacific index has dropped 6% this week, while the S&P 500 is down only 0.1%, indicating a shift of global funds back to the US for safety, coinciding with a strengthening dollar.  
- Asia's reliance on oil from the Strait of Hormuz makes it vulnerable to supply disruptions, impacting economic performance, particularly in South Korea and Japan, as inflation concerns hinder monetary policy flexibility.
