Oil prices remain supported by geopolitical risk and summer demand; any deal-driven pullback is a buying opportunity.
Consumer sentiment at all-time low and rising fuel costs favor defensive names with pricing power.
Fed rate hike discussions and new Chair's regime change suggest rates stay higher for longer.
US-Iran tensions, Ebola outbreak, and Dimon's defense comments warrant a hedge.

Forward-looking scenarios, key catalysts and indicators to watch
Short-term · 1–3 months
Markets are likely to remain volatile over the next 1-3 months, driven by US-Iran negotiations, Fed policy signals, and consumer spending data. Oil prices will stay elevated, pressuring inflation and sentiment. AI and defense sectors may outperform, while retail faces margin headwinds. A potential Iran deal could trigger a sharp rally in equities and a drop in oil.
Long-term · 6–12 months
Over 6-12 months, the AI infrastructure theme will continue to dominate, with SpaceX IPO and software AI plays gaining traction. The Fed's regime change under Warsh may lead to higher rates for longer, favoring value and financials. Emerging markets could benefit from peace deals and infrastructure spending. However, bubble risks from mega-IPOs and consumer weakness pose downside risks.
