What is the likely change in the market come Monday after the events of this weekend? I know uncertainty often causes the market to go down even if just momentarily but how will individual stocks and certain industries move? I would imagine defense stocks might go up but what do you think?

    Market moves due to attacks on Iran?

      Depends how the next 24 hours unfold. Their leader is dead which could be signaling this might end swiftly. I think the market will go green.

      I already own lots of defense stocks. That’s one sector I got into during operation. Desert Storm I think, I think this will make the market go green

      Oil-sensitive stocks volatile, but likely a relief rally if Iran’s leadership is indeed decimated. Longer-term is the bigger risk with a power vacuum there.

      Ding dong the witch is dead!!!
      SPY will now blast through 700 on Monday. We may even see 730 by the end of the week if Iran is truly freed from Islamic imperialists

      Markets prefer bad news to uncertainty.

      US military action in Iran was an uncertainty that is now gone.

      Looks like the attack went well and achieved its objective.

      So long as nothing unexpected happens we’ll probably get a brief panick sell Monday morning and then close green.

      The uncertainty had been holding the market down. 7,000 S&P500 this week.

      Probably a little spike in commodities and maybe a little sell off in tech, more rotation into consumer defensives and utilities, but hard to say. I’ve got two balls and neither of them are crystal.

    8. It’s too soon to say. It all depends on the length of the conflict. If it looks like it’ll be over quick, then it should be a modest drop early into a recovery later. If the conflict looks like it’ll will carry on for weeks causing a larger disruption to global shipping, then it will be a more significant and sustained couple percent fall. If it’s still hazy expect plenty of chop.

    9. I don’t think it has much impact. Oil probably spikes. Iran has no ability to strike here so it’s really just target practice for us.

    10. Oil and military stocks will spike. Most other stocks will probably dip or be volatile for a week or so. UNLESS Strait of Hormuz is blockaded and that means virtually all stocks will plummet.

    11. The usual reaction to a non-major (meaning no NATO member or superpower is being attacked) is some initial correction which reverts after a couple of days.

    12. I have my monthly investment scheduled for Monday, like I always do after I get paid, I haven’t changed my portfolio. I will continue to invest in my portfolio regardless of what’s going on. Time in the market

      Inflation will skyrocket and no rate cuts are coming if the Hormuz is closed. Also unemployment will skyrocket (already has)

      The overhang of war is over, the market wil dip Monday then forget on Tuesday and keep on trucking.

    15. The easiest proxy for the market(surprisingly good): Bitcoin. It was down like 5% when the attacks started, and it corrected back up already. Not expecting a major move right now…
