Now they pay : US hits Iran after Strait of Hormuz closure | World News
What it means
Direct US military strikes on Iran represent a genuine escalation beyond the prior Hormuz closure risk signals — moving from threat to kinetic action. Historically, such escalations have been associated with sharp crude oil spikes, safe-haven flows into gold, and risk-off pressure on equities, with defense stocks typically benefiting. The magnitude of these moves may exceed what prior signals already reflected given the shift from threat to active conflict. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
