Trump's 48-hour ultimatum to Iran could trigger an unpredictable and reckless escalation.

Trump believed that a 48-hour ultimatum would force Iran to yield, but the commanders of the Revolutionary Guard are those who have proven through eight years of bloody warfare that they cannot be intimidated. The more Trump threatens, the less likely they are to relinquish their key leverage. If the energy conflict escalates, analysts warn: the Bushehr nuclear power plant must not be included in any strike range.

The Bank of America's Michael Hartnett team believes that Trump's "affordability" politics is driving capital from the "Wall Street elite" to "Main Street ordinary people": the rise of small-cap value stocks, pressure on tech giants; the narrative of AI shifting from "awe" to "impoverishment," with related debt surging; the positive correlation between the yen and Japanese stocks signaling a long-term bull market, but vigilance is needed against a sharp rise in the yen triggering global deleveraging.
