What it means
Direct US-Iran military exchanges represent a meaningful escalation beyond the prior low-level tension signals and have historically been associated with a sharp crude oil risk premium, a safe-haven bid into gold, and gains in defense stocks, while broad equities typically face short-term risk-off pressure that has historically tended to recover within weeks.
