Trump just got a high-level military briefing on fresh plans to strike Iran, and markets are already pricing in the risk.

Axios is reporting that CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper and Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Caine spent 45 minutes with President Trump today laying out new options for possible military action against Tehran. While the story isn’t brand new, the timing has traders on edge as oil climbs and safe-haven flows pick up.

In Asia-Pacific trading, that tension is showing up in the numbers. The 10-year index-linked JGB auction came in at 0.578, jumping from the previous 0.458 as investors demanded higher yields on inflation-protected Japanese debt. Meanwhile, the 3-month bill auction rose to 0.8316 from 0.7752, signaling tighter short-term funding costs.

European futures are pointing modestly lower tonight, with energy names bucking the trend on the Iran headlines. Bitcoin is holding just above key support as traders weigh geopolitical premium against broader risk appetite.

All eyes now turn to how much this escalates before tomorrow’s US open. Russell's Morning Outlook is right around the corner — stay with VixShield. I am your VixShield news reporter.
