Conflicting signals from the U.S.-Iran situation are pushing global markets into a period of sustained, sharp volatility, leaving investors caught between hopes for diplomacy and the risk of escalating conflict. This week, Trump claimed the U.S. and Iran were "in negotiations" and hinted that a peace deal was in sight, causing oil prices to drop and stocks to rise in response. However, Tehran subsequently denied participation in direct negotiations, dismissing the reports as "fake news," which quickly reversed market gains. According to Xinhua News Agency, The Wall Street Journal reported on the 25th that U.S. President Trump recently told his advisors that he wants to end the war with Iran "quickly," aiming to conclude hostilities "within the coming weeks." However, significant differences remain between the two sides regarding core demands. This game of confusing signals has already caused abnormal fluctuations in oil prices, bond yields, and stock markets. Analysts warn that if negotiations collapse or energy infrastructure suffers further attacks, recent market gains could quickly evaporate, and volatility will surge again. ## Pricing Two Paths Simultaneously, Markets Face a Dilemma The starkly contrasting public statements from the U.S. and Iran regarding negotiations this week have made it difficult for the market to form clear macroeconomic expectations. Reports indicate that the U.S. has presented Iran with over a dozen ceasefire conditions to restart talks, but Iranian officials have denied these reports. Simultaneously, the Pentagon is reportedly planning to send thousands more troops to the Middle East, a move that could significantly escalate the intensity of the conflict. "The market is struggling because it's trying to price in two competing paths at the same time," said Billy Leung, investment strategist at Global X ETFs. **"A diplomatic solution is being discussed, but the base case still includes the risk of near-term disruption to energy flows, especially through the Strait of Hormuz."** Marko Papic, geopolitical macro strategist at BCA Research, noted that the U.S. and Iran remain far apart on the issue of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and negotiations "might happen, or they might not happen." He added that even as military actions continue, the market is acting as if the diplomatic process is advancing—a misalignment that is itself a risk. ## Market Highly Sensitive to Headlines, Thin Liquidity Amplifies Volatility Behind this round of sharp market swings is not only geopolitical uncertainty but also a reflection of the current market structure's fragility. Billy Leung pointed out that **thin liquidity and light positioning are magnifying the impact of geopolitical news on the market, causing asset prices to follow headlines more closely rather than converging on a clear macroeconomic trajectory.** Ben Emons, founder of Fedwatch Advisors, stated that the market currently assigns "moderate credibility" to the prospect of a peace agreement, but with the caveat that any agreement might only last 30 days. Israel's actions remain the biggest variable—any sudden attack could quickly ignite the situation. In contrast, geopolitical events in Greenland, Venezuela, and Cuba in early 2026 barely moved the markets, as investors at the time had grown numb to headline risks generated by the Trump administration. "Greenland was an episode, Venezuela was an episode, Cuba was an episode," said Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research. "This conflict is of the highest magnitude." ## "Grin and Bear It": Historical Experience Supports Long-Term Holding Logic Faced with persistent uncertainty, some investors are choosing to anchor themselves with historical experience and hold their ground. "You just have to grin and bear it," said Ed Yardeni. "Past geopolitical crises have almost always presented buying opportunities." He suggested that investors with cash on hand could position themselves in sectors that benefit from falling oil prices and receding uncertainty, such as airline stocks and homebuilders, while advising those who have already profited from energy stocks to take profits at the right time. UBS strategists, meanwhile, strongly caution against trading based on geopolitical headlines, advising investors to maintain strategic equity positions and use market rebounds to rebalance portfolios. They suggest reducing exposure to regions and sectors highly sensitive to high energy prices while increasing allocations to defensive assets and short-duration bonds. Gautam Chadda, managing director at RBC Wealth Management, noted that sharp cross-asset volatility also provides a window for investors to reposition. His team is tilting portfolios toward "beneficiaries of regional turmoil," including fertilizer producers, defense manufacturers, and helium suppliers. ## Economic Impact Is the Market's True Bottom Line Robin Brooks, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, believes that markets ultimately focus not on the political maneuvering itself, but on the actual impact of the conflict on the real economy. "Even if there is a military escalation, as long as tanker traffic eventually picks up, the market will rejoice," Brooks said. "I think we'll see oil prices fall, global stock markets rebound, and everything get back on track." However, he also warned that if the situation becomes a prolonged stalemate, the impact will shift from mere price shocks to physical shortages, causing a drag on economic growth unseen in decades. "The longer the conflict drags on, the more we move from the realm of price shocks to physical shortages," Brooks said. For investors, the road ahead remains bumpy until clearer exit signals emerge. ### 相关股票 - [NASDAQ-100 (.NDX.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/.NDX.US.md) - [Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/.DJI.US.md) -
