I looked at the charts when the bombing happened. Looks like the pound and most other currencies spiked up against USD including the obvious safe havens JPY and CHF. This is different. Maybe a more sustained USD drop.

Guys, please do not spread panic. This is not the start of ww3. It will never happen. The purpose of actions like this is to prevent ww, not to start it. You know, guys like the leader of North Korea are doing such things in order to get attention and more influential power when they demand thing on the international stage. The truth is that those countries, that already share this kind of power between themselves, will not allow another one to mix in the game and to decide the rules.

More important would be now situation in Syria. The US ambassador to the UN said today they need to get rid of Assad before any peace talks.

Frictions between the US and Russia seem to be inventible.

However, markets do not believe in any conflict escalation. They price-in free Trump money, making America great again, 4..5..6 hikes in 2017, balance sheet adjustment in 2017 etc, while world is slowly changing into powder keg.

At some point market will be badly wrong about recent and future situation and will crash....as always do.

Yo Kim, this is your big chance to prove that you are nuttier than Snickers. That or it is Trump's chance to own the lot of you. Hahahah.

Oh and, you have a hair dresser problem and need a deadlocked convention.

Escalation:
"What America waged in an aggression on Syria is a crossing of red lines. From now on we will respond with force to any aggressor or any breach of red lines from whoever it is and America knows our ability to respond well,"
