CNBC Daily Open: Israel's Conflict with Iran Sends Tremors Through Markets

  • Israel launched airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and military targets early Friday, prompting Iran to retaliate by sending over 100 drones toward Israeli territory.
  • The escalating conflict follows rising tensions in the Middle East, with Iran canceling nuclear negotiations and Israel vowing to prevent Tehran's nuclear advances.
  • The strikes caused widespread losses across Middle Eastern stock markets, including a 4.6% drop in Kuwait's index and an 18.4% plunge in Jazeera Airways shares.
  • Oil prices surged 7%, reaching near $75 per barrel, while safe-haven assets like gold and the U.S. dollar also gained amid concerns of supply disruptions.
  • The ongoing hostilities are expected to fuel further market volatility and raise fears of broader regional conflict, with investors advised to remain cautious.
