Gulf Markets Fall as US-Iran Escalation Pressure Mounts

📉 GULF MARKETS — OTP5 threat moves markets before a single missile fires. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Gulf equities pricing in OTP5 risk signals regional capital is treating tonight's strike warning as credible, not rhetorical. Saudi, UAE, and Kuwaiti indexes falling ahead of an announced operation means sovereign wealth managers are reducing exposure — not hedging. That's a confidence signal inverting Etihad's widebody order from this morning. Watch whether selloff deepens after market close if OTP5 executes.
