Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Geopolitical escalation and a delayed resolution raise energy prices and risk premiums, pressuring multi-sector equities. Historically, gulf-related tensions spike oil, widen credit spreads, and weigh on broad indices in the near term (e.g., Gulf War shocks, 2014-15 oil downturn). The S&P 500 tends to underperform when oil surges and bond yields volatility rises, especially through election periods.
