What has happened so far. On April 22nd, Terrorists shot dead 26 tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir. Their crime? They were not Muslims. https://www.indiatoday.in/india/sto...-firing-exit-gate-tourists-2716756-2025-04-29 In India, millions expressed outrage, and hoping the military will retaliate. Pakistan has denied any connection to the terrorists and warned that "130 nukes are pointing at India" https://www.newindianexpress.com/na...a-pak-minister-hanif-abbasi-makes-open-threat The Pakistani ambassador to Russia has also stated that they will not hesitate to launch their nukes if the Indian army attacks. https://www.indiatoday.in/world/sto...-attack-nuclear-war-threat-2719227-2025-05-04 Pakistan has a history of sheltering terrorists starting with Osama, to Hafiz Sayed who is wanted in India as the mastermind of the 26/11 attack. Recently, India Today published photos of Hafiz Sayed's house in Lahore, Pakistan where he leads a comfortable life with security provided by the Govt. https://www.indiatoday.in/world/sto...ore-pahalgam-terror-attack-2717464-2025-04-30 As soon as his location was made public, the Pak military increased his security by 4x https://www.indiatoday.in/world/sto...ttack-army-drones-deployed-2717836-2025-05-01 12 days have passed since the attack without retaliation. It is not a matter of if, but when, as public outrage grows by the day. Once it does happen, if Pakistan replies in nukes, India has 170 nukes pointed at Pakistan and will strike back. The Indian stock market is cautious as many expect a retaliatory strike will take place soon. Option IVs are going through the roof.
I have heard too many times the possibility of nuclear warfare.....absolutely nobody wants to have that happen in any circumstances....I believe that this could be settled without the use of these types of methods...
They haven't sacrificed goats in the front of Pakistani stock exchange so, most likely no, as of yet.
Right now, there is no chance to negotiate as Pakistan denies any role. India cannot back down, as that gives Pakistan a free hand to carry out any number of future attacks under the threat of "we will nuke you" if you retaliate. Pakistan has nothing to lose, the country is surviving on international aid, their people struggle to buy food. I think we'll find out this week if they are bluffing or not.
A nuclear war between Pakistan and India could have life changing consequences globally. It doesn't have to be Russia 6k+ nukes to trigger a catastrophe, Pakistan would do.
The doomsday clock is showing absolutely zero fear of any type of nuclear attack. ... And if there was this much fear of a nuclear attack it would have been broadcasted throughout the world....i heard nothing of the sort until it was posted here on elitetrader.... And not only that but if there was such a threat equities wouldn't be surging the last 2 weeks....
Honestly the chances of this happening is very very low. I doubt wallstreet or any investor is worried about this, how many wars has wallstreet seen, hundreds, thousands. Means. Nothing....how many times have we heard about North Korea?? Hundreds of times and wallstreet brushes it off. Look at the war in Russia and Ukraine, hasn't done anything to affect markets.... There has even been talk of a US China war.... As you can see wallstreet could care less about wars, they have been going on for literally thousands of years and stocks have only gone up, so you can sleep well and not have an inkling of any worry as your basket of stocks in your portfolio are very safe and will continue to rise and rise...
How many times have you heard about nuclear wars??? Many times right? And what?? Nothing....there will be wars, but nuclear ..absolutely not
