This conflict is no longer a regional proxy war—it directly threatens global oil chokepoints (Strait of Hormuz) and supply chains, pushing inflation expectations higher.

The current extreme fear reading historically aligns with major bottoms, suggesting the market is already pricing in significant downside—an external shock could either confirm that bottom or break it.

Tensions escalated between Iran and Israel as they trade air attacks on day 101 of the conflict, with diplomatic efforts failing to yield lasting peace.
