Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Geopolitical conflict raises oil volatility and inflationary risk, typically pressuring equities in the near term; defense names may gain on safety-demand but overall S&P 500 tends to drift lower if oil spikes persist. Historical analogs show brief volatility spikes around Gulf tensions and drone incidents affecting energy and broader markets.
