What it means
A fresh round of US strikes on Iran and a fragile ceasefire have historically been associated with a renewed spike in crude oil prices, as markets reprice the risk of supply disruption through the Strait of Hormuz. Airlines face additional margin pressure if elevated fuel costs persist longer than expected. Defense stocks have historically benefited from sustained conflict escalation expectations.
