Iran exerts significant influence on the US stock market and for the first time in history a country determines the trends of the stock indices on the New York Stock Exchange without using any known financial instruments, writes the Iranian news agency Fars.
“Iran's actions in recent weeks have directly influenced the rise and fall of the US stock indices. Every news from the Strait of Hormuz, every statement by government officials in Tehran, immediately provokes a reaction on Wall Street“, the agency notes. According to financial analysts, “this is the first time in history that a country has managed to influence the world's largest capital market without using traditional investment and financial instruments“.
In recent weeks and days, Fars notes, “professional traders on Wall Street first get information about Iran and only then make any financial decisions“.
