Markets Don’t Fear War. They Fear Not Knowing What Comes Next.
📌 1. Market Snapshot – How the U.S.–Iran Conflict Impacts Your Portfolio
War isn’t just a political headline — it reshapes markets.
Here’s what’s already moving:
🛢 Oil is up +18% in two weeks
→ Rising oil = higher inflation risk = pressure on tech and consumer stocks📉 S&P 500 dipped -0.5% last week
→ Institutions are cautious, rotating out of growth🟢 Defense & energy stocks climbing
→ Lockheed Martin, ExxonMobil gaining traction as “war hedges”📈 Gold & USD rallying
→ Smart money hedging uncertainty with safe havens
🧠 2. Deep Dive – Why War Affects the Stock Market (Especially in the Short Term)
When conflict breaks out, the market reacts emotionally before it reacts logically. Here’s what drives that behavior:
🕳️ Uncertainty Kills Confidence
War creates unknowns: escalation, trade impact, central bank hesitation.
So investors sell first and figure it out later.
🔥 Oil Becomes the Wild Card
Most conflicts affect oil-producing regions. Rising oil prices mean inflation risk — which eats into business profits and consumer spending.
That’s why you’ll see money rotate out of growth stocks and into commodities, energy, and defense.
💸 Short-Term Pain, Long-Term Pattern
Markets often dip at the start of conflict… but bounce back quickly if escalation is limited.
