What it means
A resumption of direct U.S. strikes on Iran — combined with Iranian attacks hitting Kuwait and a Chinese-owned facility — represents a genuine escalation beyond prior signals, historically associated with a sharp crude oil risk premium, a safe-haven bid in gold, and gains in defense stocks. Broad equities have historically dipped on acute U.S.-Iran military exchanges, though recoveries have tended to follow once the immediate shock fades.
