1/ Geopolitical tensions from the US-Iran conflict created a risk-off environment, pressuring traditional markets. Oil prices surged, recession fears mounted, and stagflation concerns dominated. Capital fled risk assets as uncertainty escalated across every asset class, demanding clear analysis from those bridging traditional finance and decentralized economies.

2/ Major indices declined broadly. The S&P 500 fell 0.63% to 6,329 points. Nasdaq-100 futures slipped 0.4% under rate pressure. Dow Jones futures dropped 0.5%, losing over 3,000 points in March. Asian markets weakened too, with ASX 200 down 1.48%, though energy stocks provided partial support.
