USA attacks Iran: DAX under pressure, Commerzbank on the brink!

A significant military incident occurred in the Middle East over the weekend when the US Army attacked and largely destroyed three Iranian nuclear facilities. The facilities in Fordow, Natans and Isfahan were attacked by a massive use of bombs, which President Trump described as a complete destruction of the facilities. Trump also threatened further attacks if Iran did not make peace. Despite the military attacks, nervousness remains high on the stock markets, but losses today could be limited, reports The shareholder.

The impact of the attacks is both geostrategic and economic. Crude oil prices continue their upward movement and the DAX is expected to be lower at the start of trading. Bank stocks in particular react sensitively to geopolitical events. Commerzbank was able to remain stable despite the ongoing conflicts, although investors were advised to be cautious due to the current market situation.

Geopolitical tensions and their economic consequences

The military escalation not only has an impact on the conflict between the USA and Iran, but also on the European financial landscape. The uncertainty surrounding possible takeovers, such as that of Italy's Banco BPM by UniCredit, has unsettled market participants. UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel expressed skepticism due to high regulatory requirements that are considered opaque and disproportionate, which further reduces the chances of a takeover.

The US military confirmed that all aircraft were able to safely exit Iranian airspace following the attacks. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that no radioactive radiation was released in the attacks. However, the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency described the attacks as a violation of international law and announced that it would not stop the development of the nuclear industry.

Market analysis and stock development

Despite the geopolitical tensions, the market remains under pressure. Commerzbank is the focus of investors' perception, although a new entry opportunity does not currently appear to be appropriate due to the valuation. In order to manage the risk, invested investors should set a stop at 22.50 euros. The market will continue to be dominated in the coming days by the conflict between Iran and Israel and US interventions.

Overall, the geopolitical tensions are noticeable and will continue to influence the economic situation and the stock markets in the coming weeks. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu praised the US attacks as a courageous decision, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced self-defense options and called the attacks "outrageous."
