The escalation in the Middle East could lead to a spike in oil prices, potentially benefiting oil-related assets such as XOM and CVX, while negatively impacting the overall market due to increased uncertainty and risk aversion. This may also lead to a flight to safe-haven assets like gold (XAU) and the US dollar (USD).
