Connection thesis
Despite geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz (shipping companies reluctant to sail), the overall market indices (QQQ, SPY) are up. This suggests the market is either becoming desensitized to the ongoing geopolitical risk or pricing in a resolution. The risk is real but perhaps not fully priced into equities.
