US launches strikes to punish Iran after troops killed
What it means
US military strikes on Iran represent a genuine escalation of the ongoing tension — this type of direct exchange has historically been associated with an immediate spike in crude oil prices (via Hormuz supply-risk fears), a safe-haven rush into gold, gains in defense stocks, and short-term pressure on broad equities. The prior signals in this situation did not include a direct-strikes scenario, so these moves reflect new information rather than a continuation. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
