FAQ
Why Bullish?
Historical conflicts have shown that military actions often lead to oil price spikes. If Iran retaliates, we might see enduring increases in oil prices.
How important is it?
Given that BNO tracks oil futures, any increase in oil prices would directly influence its performance. The geopolitical instability can enhance investor interest in oil ETFs like BNO, potentially increasing trading volumes and price movements.
Why Short Term?
Immediate transaction responses to geopolitical events typically lead to short-term price fluctuations. As seen in past incidents, such as the 2019 drone attacks on Saudi facilities, rapid price reactions occur.
