US strikes Iran for 9th consecutive night

What it means

Nine consecutive nights of US strikes on Iran is a continuation of an ongoing situation delfee has tracked for over three weeks. The oil risk premium, safe-haven bid in gold, and defense sector lift were appropriate calls when this conflict began — but repeating those calls on each successive night of strikes would be false precision. Markets have had ample time to price in sustained US military action against Iran, and absent a genuine new development (a Strait of Hormuz closure, Iranian retaliation against oil infrastructure, or a dramatic escalation in scope), this headline adds no new information beyond what is already reflected in prices.
