What it means
A direct Iranian missile attack on U.S. assets followed by Trump's explicit retaliation threat represents a genuine new escalation — not a continuation of ambient tension — and has historically been associated with sharp crude oil spikes on Hormuz supply-risk fears, a safe-haven bid into gold, and gains in defense stocks. Broad equities have historically dipped on such acute conflict escalations, though recoveries tend to follow within weeks if no major supply disruption materializes.
