Odaily News: Buying on the first day of the conflict, bottom-fishing right before strikes were paused, and clearing positions before strikes resumed... Trump’s investment accounts have reportedly executed 23 “Buffett-level trades” over the past six months, with unrealized gains exceeding one million dollars.It is reported that during the first six months of the ongoing geopolitical conflict, investment accounts linked to Trump generated substantial returns through active trading in energy stocks. These holdings spanned nine major players in the U.S. energy sector, significantly benefiting from supply disruption fears triggered by the conflict. A report released in August by the Democratic staff of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC) provided a higher estimate, calculating that Trump’s broader oil and gas investment portfolio has increased in value by up to $15.5 million so far this year.The report quickly sparked political backlash. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren publicly criticized Trump, stating that his initiation of the conflict with Iran this year directly drove the surge in oil and gas stocks—while his own substantial holdings rose accordingly.

: Multiple market analysts have stated that after the US joined Japan in intervening in the yen, shorting the yen now carries higher risks.Analysts pointed out that the joint US-Japan action has enhanced the credibility of the authorities' efforts to stabilize the yen, making it more difficult for the market to persistently bet against the currency. However, relying solely on currency intervention is unlikely to change long-term trends. Sustained yen strength will still require fundamental support, such as further policy tightening by the Bank of Japan, a decline in US yields, or an improvement in Japan's fiscal outlook. Some analysts believe that a stronger yen could put pressure on Japan's export-dependent companies and stock market, while if the intervention falls short of expectations, it could also raise concerns about further yen depreciation.
