Recently, following major geopolitical moves by the United States, global capital markets reacted strongly. The energy sector emerged as the biggest winner, with the four major US stock indices rising simultaneously. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged by 594.79 points (up 1.23%), reaching a new all-time high of 48,977.18 points.
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index increased by 43.58 points to 6,902.05 points, and the Nasdaq Composite rose by 160.19 points to 23,395.82 points. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index also performed strongly, climbing 78.98 points to 7,446.45 points.
Energy stocks performed the best. A major oil company saw its stock price soar by 5.1%, becoming the biggest beneficiary due to its business presence in relevant regions. Another oil giant's stock also rose by 2.2%. The oilfield services sector also saw gains, with several related companies' stock prices rising.
Interestingly, despite the booming stock market, traders increased their allocations to safe-haven assets. Gold futures contracts rose by 2.8%, marking the best single-day performance since October 20. At the same time, Bitcoin directly broke through $94,000, indicating a dual demand from investors for both risk assets and safe-haven assets.
The defense sector also benefited from the trend. Defense contractors' stock prices rose modestly, with gains ranging from 2.9% to 3.5%, reflecting the market's digestion of the potential long-term impacts of geopolitical tensions.

Energy stocks soar, gold and Bitcoin are also rising. This wave of geopolitical dividends is really here.

When geopolitics strikes, energy and defense stocks start to party—this script is so cliché.
I didn’t expect Bitcoin to break 94,000; it seems everyone is really panicking.
Oil and gas stocks surged over 5%? Why didn’t I jump in? Is it still possible to catch up now?
Gold rose 2.8%, and BTC hit a new high—what is this hinting at?
Energy stocks are eating up this round, but why are my holdings still lying dormant?
Defense sector only rose between 2.9% and 3.5%? Are they trying to fool me?
Buying safe-haven assets while also buying risky assets—what are traders betting on?
The Dow Jones Index is at 48,977—just a little away from 50,000.
The semiconductor index is also strong—are tech stocks about to turn around?
The geopolitical situation is explosive, but valuations are still so high—people who buy are really brave.

Energy and defense stocks are rising together, I know this routine too well, it's another move to harvest the retail investors through geopolitical tensions.
---
BTC breaking 94,000 is unbelievable. This wave of safe-haven assets surging is really fear.
---
Oil and gas stocks up 5%, this must be the final frenzy of traditional energy.
---
Whenever something happens, gold and Bitcoin soar together. The market is really panicking.
---
Defense stocks only up 3%, it seems no one truly believes there will be a war.
---
The stock market hits a new high, gold up 2.8%. What do you call this healthy market? I think it's just gambling.
---
Geopolitics = energy surge, this logic has been overhyped.
---
The Nasdaq only up 160 points? Tech stocks are really being marginalized this time.
---
Interesting, everyone is buying safe-haven assets. Who will take the final baton?
---
If oil prices really surge, this small increase in energy stocks isn't enough.

Energy stocks soar, Bitcoin breaks 94,000, and geopolitical issues are just a money-printing machine.

Energy stocks are really on fire this time, but it seems like everyone is betting on a war market.

Energy takes off, Bitcoin breaks 94,000. This is a typical "uncertainty trading" strategy—betting on black gold on one side and bottom-fishing BTC on the other. What is the market betting on?

Energy stocks surge, this wave is truly incredible, oil and gas targets are directly taking off
Bitcoin breaks 94,000, still buying gold, this mindset is really both eager and eager again
Arbitrage game under geopolitical rivalry, players are showing their skills
US stocks hit new highs, the probability of a energy sector crash is also rising
Semiconductors have such a small increase, tech stocks are not doing well
Gold futures hit new highs, what are the old guys panicking about
Oilfield services stocks are really lying flat this time, they should have been bullish on them earlier
Behind the market prosperity are interest rate hike expectations, don’t be fooled
A 5% increase in energy, is this a rebound or a top?
The defense sector’s modest gains indicate the market isn’t that afraid of conflict
