Connection thesis
Iran Strait re-opening signal (French ship transit) contradicts escalation narrative embedded in fighter jet downing + American bleakness polling. Market has priced Iran risk into bonds (previous cycles) but equities are fragmenting: large caps selling (TSLA -5.42%, META -0.82%, AMZN -0.37%, GOOGL -0.54%) while small caps rally (IWM +0.70%). This is classic 'safe haven' rotation: geopolitical risk premium is REAL but uneven. The Strait passage is the tell—logistics chains are tentatively reopening despite rhetoric, suggesting actual military escalation risk is lower than headline fear implies.

Score · right
SPY closed higher, and IWM outperformed SPY, suggesting small-cap strength. Thus direction was right, but the precise reasoning is difficult to confirm.
