Connection thesis
Iran-Israel escalation has created a bifurcated risk regime. The Strait of Hormuz reopening signal (CMA CGM transit) suggests markets are pricing *containment* of the conflict, not expansion. However, the downed F-15E, ongoing search operations, and Trump's $1.5T defense budget reveal structural military commitment that makes de-escalation costly. This creates a 48h window where either: (a) further Iranian response triggers risk-off repricing, or (b) continued market calm despite military escalation confirms containment narrative holds. Equities are vulnerable to the first scenario.
