Trail
Connection thesis
Geopolitical escalation (NATO reconsideration + Lebanon/Israel intensification + Iran war energy shock) creates correlated tail-risk premium across equities. BBC reports 1.3M UK homeowners facing mortgage cost increases by end-2028 due to Middle East supply disruption. This systemic risk backdrop should compress risk appetite and widen bid-ask spreads on large-cap tech into earnings week.
