Connection thesis
Iran-related geopolitical escalation (drones hitting Kuwait refinery, Trump vowing more strikes, BOJ keeping hike door open) creates dual macro headwinds: (1) energy supply shock risk → inflation → rates stay elevated or rise, (2) demand destruction from global uncertainty → growth concerns. This is a 'stagflation lite' setup that historically reduces equity multiple expansion but supports defensive positioning. The small-cap bounce (+0.69%) on this news is counterintuitive — suggests market is pricing a near-term risk-off that doesn't materialize, or is rotating into domestically-insulated names. The FAO food price warning is a lag indicator; inflation shock would hit in 3-4 weeks. Current equity bounce is front-running a reversal.
