U . S . Reimposes Naval Blockade , Carries Out More Strikes
What it means
U.S. military escalation in the Middle East — including a naval blockade and airstrikes — has historically been associated with an immediate spike in crude oil prices as transit and supply risks rise, along with gains in defense stocks and gold as safe-haven demand increases. Energy producers tend to benefit from higher crude, while broad risk-off sentiment can weigh on equities in the near term. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
