The US economy has shown unexpected resilience four months into the conflict with Iran, with GDP growth remaining stable and consumer spending holding steady. Despite geopolitical tensions and fears of energy price shocks, employment data and manufacturing indices suggest continued economic momentum. Analysts attribute this to strong fiscal support, a robust labor market, and undervalued asset valuations. For markets, this resilience could delay policy shifts from central banks, keeping interest rates higher for longer. Traders should monitor oil price volatility and potential sanctions on Iranian exports, which could disrupt global supply chains. The key focus now is whether the war escalates further, impacting inflation or triggering a shift in US monetary policy.
