David Roche Says Market Relief Rally May Be Limited Amid Unresolved Middle East Tensions

Macro strategist David Roche warns that recent gains in global oil and equity markets reflect premature speculation amid unresolved Middle East tensions. He notes no formal agreement exists, with key issues like nuclear disarmament and Iran's regional influence deferred or unaddressed. Roche cautions that any potential deal would be structurally weak, possibly favoring Iran's strategic goals while leaving core conflicts intact, suggesting any market relief rally may be limited and temporary.
