Two elections over the next 10 days could move trillions in global markets. Israel votes on October 27, followed by US midterms on November 3. Both could shape the next phase of the Iran war-and the path of oil, inflation, stocks, and crypto.
In Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu favors military risk and strikes on Iran, which could spike oil. Opposition leader Eisenkot supports military action but favors caution and diplomacy. The opposition leads projected seats 54-48, 61 are needed for a majority. In the US, Trump favors continued military pressure on Iran. Democrats want stricter limits on military action, and a win would put legislative pressure on his operations. Democrats lead with 52%, per the Washington Post. If aggressive military risk wins, oil could surge, inflation rise, and stocks and risk assets suffer. If cautious diplomacy takes hold, oil could ease, giving stocks and crypto relief.Until the picture clears after November 4, oil and markets could remain volatile.
