Connection thesis
10Y yield at 4.33%, Fed Funds at 3.64%, 10Y-2Y spread at +0.52bps is a steep curve that *should* be equity-bullish (real rates positive but not punitive). However, Trump's Iran escalation + tariff announcement signals fiscal stimulus (military + trade friction) colliding with Fed hold-steady posture. The curve is pricing two different rate scenarios: markets expect either (a) inflation from tariffs/war forcing hawkish pivot, or (b) growth deceleration forcing cuts. VIX at 24.54 is elevated but not panic, meaning curve is pricing *uncertainty*, not crisis. If Trump de-escalates Iran next 24h, curve will flatten (10Y falls, 2Y holds), *and* equities rally as tail risk evaporates.
