Connection thesis
Trump's Wednesday escalation rhetoric ('vows more Iran attacks') inverted the prior de-escalation narrative that drove Monday-Tuesday's +3-6% synchronized rally. Markets repriced geopolitical risk-ON after initially believing conflict would resolve. Oil spiked to $110 (from ~$100), defense stocks failed to sustain gains (Reuters), and diplomatic efforts (Macron's Hormuz realism, UK talks) are now viewed as insufficient. This explains the current fragmented selloff: mega-caps down (duration repricing), small-caps up (oil/commodity hedges). The narrative shifted from 'de-escalation floor' to 'escalation ceiling' within 48 hours.

Score · —
Inconclusive — Completely wrong — Predicted QQQ lower in 24h; actual result shows QQQ +0.1%. Thesis about duration-sensitive tech repricing geopolitical risk upward failed to materialize. Despite escalatory rhetoric (Iran attacks, Hormuz threats, 140+ rockets during Passover), QQQ moved flat-to-positive alongside strong macro data (178K jobs beat). Risk-off scenario did not occur.
