US , Iran trade missile barrages as hopes dim for a quick resolution
What it means
A direct US-Iran missile exchange is a genuine escalation beyond prior tension headlines and has historically been associated with an immediate crude oil risk premium, safe-haven flows into gold, and gains in defense stocks. Broad equities have historically seen short-term risk-off pressure in direct great-power conflict scenarios, though recoveries have often followed within weeks once the immediate shock is absorbed.
