Connection thesis
US fighter jet downed over Iran, oil jumps, Trump threatens more strikes, AND simultaneously requests $1.5T military budget. This is not two separate stories — it's one: escalation is becoming fiscally instantiated. The market's muted reaction (SPY +9bps) suggests it's already pricing defense spending as 'growth.' If oil spikes further on geopolitical action, this triggers a stagflation signal (growth + inflation from energy costs). Energy equities and defense contractors will outperform broad market.
