How do you think market is going to react tomorrow based on the wars in middle east given the latest developments of US attacking nuclear sites of Iran.

Markets likely to open slightly lower (~0.5–1%) unless escalation continues.
Energy Stocks: Likely up — XLE, ExxonMobil, Chevron, etc.
Defense Contractors: Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman may see significant gains.

Atleast 1% negative or more.

Stocks have muted early reaction to US strikes on Iran

Feels like everyone’s waiting to see Iran’s response before reacting.

Kinda wild how a nuclear site strike gets treated like just another Tuesday on Wall Street.

Is this already priced in or are algo traders just ignoring geopolitics now?

Seems like already priced in. Iran’s move will be important. I saw a news that Iran attacked US bases in Syria, then realized it was from a local small news agency.

Indian media was happy to pick it up asap.

Is this bull run over for now? Most AI, Semiconductor stocks have breached their previous ATH and their RSI is now close to 75. Shouldn’t they and the NASDAQ start correcting from Monday?

How much do you expect the AI stocks to correct by?
Read: Nvidia, Palantir, Microsoft, AMD (at resistance level)

Do you expect money to now flow into more beaten down or laggard stocks like Google, Apple, Amazon, Salesforce?
Or non-tech giants like Walmart, HD, Pepsi have a better chance of recovering now?

Any other stocks which you see going up next week?

Do you think this will affect Tesla stocks today?

Agriculture, Pharma and FMCG stocks can gain more. US stocks likely will gain more from the deal than Indian stocks in my opinion. Wise to invest directly in US stocks.

The U.S. dollar just gained ground against the yen and British pound as global investors shifted back to USD amid economic jitters and rate differentials.

What I’m most curious about is how much companies are investing in AI infra and productivity tools. If we see strong capex numbers, especially from industrials and tech, it signals confidence in future growth — which may justify the high valuations. Otherwise, the market feels priced for perfection.
