It was another wild week in the markets, and today we're breaking down the biggest stories that moved price action across the globe.

From escalating conflict in the Middle East to sharp swings in equities and commodities, traders had plenty to digest. The ongoing Iran war has sent shockwaves through energy markets, with oil prices surging as fears grow about disruptions to global supply and shipping through the critical Strait of Hormuz, which normally handles roughly 20% of the world's oil shipments.

In today's episode of Trading Week Wrap Up, we'll connect the dots between the geopolitical headlines and what they actually mean for traders.

We'll cover:

• The latest developments in the Iran conflict and its market impact
• Why oil prices surged and how energy markets are reacting
• The broader weakness across equities and risk assets
• What traders should watch as geopolitical risk increases

I'll also answer a viewer question on trading taxation, a topic every active trader needs to understand before tax season sneaks up on them.

And of course, I'll provide updates on my trades for the week—what worked, what didn't, and how I'm managing risk in a volatile environment.

If you want a clear breakdown of the week's biggest market drivers without the noise, this episode is for you.
