Join Wealthion's Real Assets Community: https://wealthion.com/realassets Markets are rallying, but are investors completely misreading the risks? Maggie Lake sits down with David Woo @DavidWooUnbound to break down the escalating Iran conflict, rising U.S. and China tensions, and what it all means for global markets. Woo argues the current ceasefire is only a tactical pause before a much larger escalation, and that Trump's 60-day War Powers clock runs out next week. From the Strait of Hormuz to a proxy war between superpowers, David lays out a scenario where Brent hits $120, the S&P falls 7 to 10 percent, and gold enters its "most bullish environment." 💡David sees the S&P falling 7 to 10 percent if Trump escalates next week.
