Iran Signals Stronger Retaliation If Attacked While Diplomacy Struggles
Iran is readying a stronger retaliation if attacked, while diplomatic efforts face long odds.
What happened
Iran is preparing harder retaliation if it is attacked, and diplomacy faces long odds, according to Reuters.
What it means for the Nasdaq and TQQQ
This is a geopolitical risk event that can affect overall risk appetite. When investors become more cautious, high-growth technology shares that carry large weights in the Nasdaq-100 can come under pressure. TQQQ, which seeks about 3x the daily performance of the Nasdaq-100, can see those index moves amplified.
