Top military officials on Capitol Hill to ask Congress for more funding as Iran War escalates
What it means
A major military funding request tied to an escalating Iran conflict has historically been associated with gains in defense stocks on higher spending expectations, a crude oil risk premium from Hormuz disruption fears, and a safe-haven bid into gold. Broad equities may see short-term risk-off pressure, though such dips have historically tended to recover over weeks. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
