Markets assess Iran sanctions impacts

The article discusses the reactions of global markets to the new sanctions imposed by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump on Iran. These sanctions targeted around 60 individuals, entities, and companies from various countries, with the aim of reducing Iran's oil exports and applying economic pressure on the country. Despite the threats, the department did not impose direct sanctions on major banks or on countries actively engaging with Tehran, leading to limited declines in oil prices. Brent crude dropped to $92.17 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate fell to $85.01. Markets also experienced volatility in equities, with declines in the chip sector and anticipated impacts on NVIDIA's earnings. Gold remained elevated during this period due to geopolitical risks and concerns over inflation. The effectiveness of these sanctions depends on how financial institutions and major countries, especially China—one of Iran’s largest oil buyers—respond to them.
