In r/stocks and r/wallstreetbets, posters argue that escalating Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz shipping disruption should be bearish via oil and credit shocks, yet markets keep rallying, fueling cynicism about policy and geopolitics being ignored.
There is a shooting war involving Iran, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has been choked, and oil and shipping costs are screaming higher.
IRANIAN WAR - markets go up.
Bullish news for the market of course
“We are going to bomb Iran to oblivion” “We are going to target all the crucial infrastructure like power grids that is essential for conducting business” “Oh yeah well we are going to bomb you all back and hit all your major businesses and their infrastructure as well” Market soars upon this exchange
Best part of the press conference today regarding the Iran War, specifically the Strait of Hormuz: Reporter 1: "Can Iran charge tolls" Mango: "How about US charging tolls" Reporter 2 (can barely be heard): "what the fu-?" Reporter 1: "Excuse me, what?" Mango: "The United States will be charging tolls"
The Strait is closed and I'd say it needs to have at least 30% of its traffic flowing for this to get real bullish.
The war is still going and oil is still rising. A month to resume supply if it ends today. Its not ending today.
