The risk is that this situation morphs into a doom loop, where the more the war intensifies, the more it will spook the bond market and slow the economy and stocks.
“It feels like there is no end to the inflation problem, the war or the deficit in the near term,” said Hardika Singh, economic strategist at Fundstrat, an investment research firm.
As long as you at war you would actually be worse off if the economy didn’t slowdown - oil shocks need to be followed by an overall economic decline (the less of you that have a job and money - the less of you need oil) - so it is a way to combat shrinking supply
But don’t be afraid for the stock market btw - your stock market at this point is just a musical chair ponzy scheme - where the same 5-6 tech companies “invest” in each other with borrowed money to create a fake demand that is never going to come from a real market — so your stock market isn’t that affected by what happens with Iran - you can still cook the books - just like they did before — and as long as there is a bigger fool that are willing to hold the bag you are fine regarding that (the bigger fool is of course mostly your own pension funds and banks etc.) - but that will just be the problem of tomorrow 
The LUNATIC/convicted FELON/REPUBLICAN -in-the-Oval is now threatening to cut off *ALL* trade with our largest trading partner, Canada......and Dementia Don is similarly suggesting he might cut off trade with ALL countries where they have a trade surplus with the US. This would be to punish Countries for allowing their businesses to make products which American consumers want to purchase...
Threatening federal reserve is unlikely to lower interest rate. Instead blocking foreign trade risks US supply shock, higher inflation and borrowing cost. Mad man Trump threatens to punish US economy if he does not get his way.

Trump's Fed Raises Interest Rate
For the first time in more than three years, members of the Federal Open Market Committee unanimously decided to hike the Fed’s key overnight bank lending rate by a quarter point in a bid to reduce [trump-caused] inflation, which remains well above the central bank’s 2% target.
And 16 of the 18 FOMC officials forecast another rate hike later this year!
*Note: der asshole-Führer of the MAGA REICH wanted Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, gone so he could replace him with a lackey (supposedly Kevin Warsh) who would *CUT* interest rates.
Temporary victory for American voters?
Election officials and millions of voters across the country could sigh in relief on Monday after the Supreme Court halted the Trump’s efforts to undermine mail ballots just before the midterms.
But [MAGA regime’s] efforts to spread chaos and confusion in the election process continue!
Whiskey Pete wants to inject testosterone into service members and Kash wants to let people IN the FBI who engaged in bestiality.
Bestiality...sure let's go down that rabbit hole & see what we find. Whose son or daughter got refused a job at the FBI because of their behavior around animals?
Interesting people those republicans . . .
Testosterone is irrelevant unless job requires men instead of women. Trump FBI and justice department cut thousands of law enforcement jobs despite promising to get tough on crime. In 2025, federal prosecutions for drug trafficking dropped to lowest level in decades. Hiring standards seem to be lower in scramble to rebuild depleted work force.
