What it means
Iranian strikes killing U.S. troops in Jordan represent a significant escalation in Iran-U.S. tensions. Historically, events of this kind are associated with a safe-haven bid into gold, gains in defense stocks, an oil risk premium, and short-term pressure on broad equities. The situation is fluid and a U.S. retaliatory response could intensify these moves. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
