Connection thesis
The Strait of Hormuz blockade (which should be inflationary via supply constraint) and the IMF growth warnings (should be deflationary via demand contraction) are countervailing forces. The market has shrugged both off, indicating short term price insensitivity or a belief that either situation is transient. This can't last, and the blockade news will eventually win.

Lesson
In the face of supply chain disruptions (Strait of Hormuz blockade) and negative economic forecasts (IMF growth warnings), inflationary pressures can overcome short-term contrary market sentiment and drive equity prices (SPY) higher; favor the likely inflationary supply shock over attempts to fade the market.
