Huoxun Finance News, March 1st - According to China News Service, the US-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28th triggered global risk aversion. Market analysts believe that the prices of precious metals such as gold will see a significant increase. However, it is worth noting that after rising on February 28th, gold futures in the grey market experienced a sharp drop on March 1st. Pan Helin, an economist and member of the Expert Committee on Information and Communication Economics of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei has changed short-term market expectations, suggesting that the situation in Iran may stabilize quickly. If it can be further verified that Iran can smoothly achieve a transition of power after Khamenei's death, then a complete reversal of expectations in the capital market is possible, with gold and oil prices falling and US stock markets, especially industrial stocks, rising. However, war is inherently uncertain, and Khamenei's death could also further destabilize the situation in Iran.

Huoxun Finance News, March 1st - In a week marked by repeated adjustments to Trump's tariff policies and escalating geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran, global markets oscillated amidst policy uncertainty and risk aversion. Aside from geopolitical tensions, the main macroeconomic events next week are as follows: Monday 22:45, US February S&P Global Manufacturing PMI final reading; Monday 23:00, US February ISM Manufacturing PMI; Wednesday 21:15, US February ADP Employment Change; Thursday 03:00, Federal Reserve Beige Book; Thursday 20:30, US February Challenger Job Cuts; Thursday 21:30, US Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending February 28th, US January Import Price Index (MoM); Friday 21:30, US February Unemployment Rate, US February Seasonally Adjusted Non-Farm Payrolls, US January Retail Sales (MoM). Technology and AI concept stocks, long considered growth engines for US stocks, have recently experienced significant growth stagnation. Latest data shows that the Nasdaq Composite Index has failed to hit a new record high for four consecutive months, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices just experienced their worst month since March of last year. This indicates that investors have deep doubts about the ability of AI technology to translate into real profits, and Wall Street is trying to navigate a turbulent storm led by tech stocks.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that a report published by the Wall Street Journal on Saturday evening (February 28th) revealed details of the US-Israeli attack that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. The report stated that Israeli and US military intelligence had been watching and waiting for a "rare opportunity"—a meeting of Iran's senior political and military leaders—to launch an attack that would simultaneously kill them. This opportunity finally arrived on Saturday. The report stated that when the US and Israel discovered three such meetings were taking place that day, they launched the daytime attack—approximately 30 bombs were dropped on Khamenei's residence.
