Donald Trump stunned the world by declaring that USA conducted "very successful attack" on three nuclear sites in Iran. US Stock Market indexes -- S&P 500,
Dow Jones
, and
Nasdaq
-- on Monday are bound to react as President Trump's decision to join Israel's military campaign against Iran represents a major escalation of the conflict.
Stock market experts have said that next two weeks are crucial for the Wall Street as all eyes will be on US Dollar rate and oil prices.
Mark Malek, Chief Investment Officer, Siebert Financial, NYC said that this is going to be very positive for the stock market. "I believe that on Friday if you'd asked me, I would have expected two weeks of volatility with markets trying to analyze every drib and drab of information coming out of the White House and I would have said that it would have been better to make a decision last week. So this will be reassuring, especially since it seems like a one and done situation and not as if (the US) is seeking a long, drawn out conflict," Malek said.
Rong Ren Goh, Portfolio Manager, Eastspring Investments, Singapore said that with the prospects of a swift resolution now diminished, investors are likely to reprice risk across markets.
Wall Street drifted to a mixed finish on Friday. S&P 500 fell 0.2 per cent to close out a second straight week of modest losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.1 per cent, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.5 per cent. S&P 500 fell 13.03 points to 5,967.84.

US cities beef up security after Trump launched airstrikes on Iran
Major US cities are tightening security after President Donald Trump unleashed airstrikes on Iran, a direct military intervention that's deepened Washington's role in Israel's war with Tehran and raised concerns about potential retaliation. In Los Angeles, mayor Karen Bass said that officials in the second largest US city are closely monitoring the situation.(AFP/ representational) Iran early Sunday warned that the US attack, dubbed 'Operation Midnight Hammer' by the Pentagon, will trigger 'everlasting consequences' and said it 'reserves all options' to respond. Police in New York, Washington, DC, and Los Angeles have since increased patrols at religious institutions, diplomatic facilities and public spaces. Officials cited no credible threats at this time but highlighted the need for vigilance. In the capital, the Metropolitan Police Department said it's closely monitoring the events in Iran and is coordinating with local, state, and federal law enforcement partners to share information and monitor intelligence. The New York Police Department said it's deployed additional officers across the city and is coordinating with the US Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies to monitor for any potential threats. Additional resources have been allocated to religious, cultural, and diplomatic sites across the city. The Greater New York area is home to the largest Jewish population outside of Israel, with about 1.4 million people. Since 2001, the NYPD and its federal partners have disrupted about 30 plots targeting the city, the department said. Officials said those efforts reflect a broad strategy that combines intelligence gathering, overseas partnerships and rapid response capabilities — tools they're now using to assess any fallout from the US strikes on Iran. The department's Intelligence Bureau operates an international liaison program with embedded personnel in 13 countries, including in Israel, where an officer is providing real-time assessments from the region. The NYPD also maintains a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, where meetings can take place without fear of listening devices. Three DHS intelligence analysts are assigned to the department, facilitating the flow of classified information and supporting joint threat analyses. Additional capabilities include a foreign linguist program with more than 1,200 registered speakers across 85 languages, and the Domain Awareness System, a real-time surveillance and analytics platform developed in partnership with Microsoft. In Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass said that officials in the second largest US city are closely monitoring the situation. 'Out of an abundance of caution, LAPD is stepping up patrols near places of worship, community gathering spaces and other sensitive sites,' Bass said. 'We will remain vigilant.'
