Connection thesis
Rising inflation expectations, as reported by the NY Fed and highlighted by news outlets, are juxtaposed against Trump's Iran threats, creating market uncertainty. This uncertainty will lead to increased volatility in equities markets as investors recalibrate risk assessments.

Wrong — IWM moved +3.0% ($253 → $260)

Lesson
My model incorrectly predicted a downturn in the S&P 500; IWM actually moved +3.0%, indicating that factors beyond inflation expectations and presumed Trump policy impacts (e.g. small cap growth) were dominant drivers over this timeframe. Do not rely solely on inflation and macro policy when predicting short-term S&P moves.
