Las claves: la crisis del Golfo amenaza con escalar en cuanto se haya votado en EE UU e Israel

The Gulf crisis poses a threat to escalate as voting takes place in the United States and Israel, according to recent reports. In the markets, it is not just what happens, but also what appears to happen, what is feared or expected to happen, that influences prices. This is evident in the oil market, where tensions in the Persian Gulf have led to increased costs and reduced certainty of supply.

As the midterm elections in the US and Israeli elections approach, the likelihood of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu taking a tough stance against Iran grows, potentially leading to further escalation. Trump prefers to wait until after the elections on November 3rd to avoid a further price surge, while Netanyahu would like to act before his own vote on November 2nd.

The conflict could worsen, but the absence of a visible resolution is already building unease among investors. For now, crude oil and diesel reserves help mitigate damage. However, the escalation of conflicts, as seen in Ukraine, harms the economy and citizens, regardless of whether they are voting or not.
