The US is preparing to deploy more troops to the Middle East as the war with Iran drags on. The Pentagon plans to send around 3,000 soldiers from the Army’s elite 82nd Airborne Division to support operations against Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

The US is preparing to deploy more troops to the Middle East as the war with Iran drags on. The Pentagon plans to send around 3,000 soldiers from the Army’s elite 82nd Airborne Division to support operations against Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. The decision to put boots on the ground in Iran hasn’t been made final yet, the officials said. Either way, the move would be a significant shift in the conflict, which has largely been an air campaign. As more US troops head to the Middle East, President Donald Trump has increasingly looked for an off ramp for the war . Trump signaled that Iran had offered a “present” as a show of good faith in negotiations, and while he wouldn’t detail the gift, he confirmed it was related to energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Overall, there remained broad uncertainty about who the US is negotiating with, the structure of talks, and the outlines of any potential agreement, and Iran and Israel showed no signs of letting up in the conflict. Despite overtures for negotiations, there are some warning signs the conflict could explode into a much larger regional war. The New York Times reported that Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince is pushing Trump to stay in the war . Sources told Bloomberg the region’s most powerful states — Iran-rival Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, in particular — are losing patience with Iranian strikes that have already hit ports, energy facilities and airports. But those states would only join the war if Tehran makes good on its threats to attack vital power and water infrastructure — a high threshold . Meanwhile, if there’s one clear winner from the war it is Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin is earning the most from its oil exports since just after its troops marched into Ukraine in 2022, boosting crude flows amid soaring prices and eased sanctions. Russia’s oil income had been heading down and while Putin has warned that the windfall will be temporary , for now Moscow’s own w...

takasuu/iStock via Getty Images Introduction Two months ago, I wrote “ Hints of U.S. Treasury Intervention To Support The Yen ,” where U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent initiated a rate check by the New York Fed to stabilize the yen-dollar exchange rate. Bessent was concerned about rising bond yields in the US, which he tied to rising yields in Japan. In consultation with his counterparts in Japan, Bessent wanted to reduce the volatility in the markets. Initially, the move worked. The yen rallied from 159.5 to 152.5, a 4.6% gain. It also helped Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s Liberal Democratic Party gain a supermajority of 316 out of 465 seats in parliament’s lower house during the snap election two weeks later. This was a big boost from her coalition’s 232 seats before the election. But the currency improvement was short-lived. Yen At Risk Of Breaching 160 The recent market moves in response to the conflict in the Middle East have caused the yen to again test the critical 160 exchange rate. This has been the threshold that has triggered intervention in the past. In Spring 2024, the BOJ, at the behest of the Finance Ministry, bought yen at 160, only to be followed by another round of purchases at 161 two months later. Together, over 15 trillion yen (almost $100 billion) was spent to support the currency. Bloomberg The Ministry of Finance has indicated that they are monitoring the situation and that the government will take the necessary steps to respond to speculative moves. Inflation Remains Elevated Inflation, as measured by Core Core CPI, has been above the 2.0% target for more than two years. Trading Economics While the February report dropped to 2.5%, its fourth consecutive decline, it has artificially been suppressed by subsidies for electricity and energy. Additionally, the impact of the oil price shock and supply chain disruptions from the Middle East conflict have not yet appeared. Wage Inflation Persists On the labor front, the Japanese Trade Union Co...

Investors have a lot of short-term worries about the retail sector, and they seem to have a new one developing with the onset of the Iran war. They already had concerns about stubborn inflation biting into consumers' wallets and the weakening job market. The retail sector will undoubtedly feel the effects of the Iran war, such as the spike in energy prices that has already caused a rapid increase in gasoline prices. However, the situation creates a potential buying opportunity for long-term investors. Two retailers with bright prospects , Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) and Five Below (NASDAQ: FIVE) , have stock prices 4.9% and 8.2% off their 52-week highs, respectively. That should encourage patient growth investors to give these two stocks a closer look. Continue reading
