What it means
An intensifying U.S.-Iran standoff over the Strait of Hormuz has historically been associated with higher oil prices as markets price in supply disruption risk, with gold gaining on safe-haven demand. Defense stocks also tend to benefit modestly from elevated geopolitical tension in the region. Note: with 41 days of ongoing coverage, some risk premium is likely already embedded in current prices.
