Trail
Connection thesis
Geopolitical instability (US-Iran tensions, US-China strategic competition, UK cabinet fracturing) creates uncertainty that depresses equity valuations and increases volatility. Trump's dismissal of Iran truce plan as 'garbage' + China viewing US as declining + Starmer's cabinet collapse all signal loss of institutional stability. Markets price in this uncertainty as risk premium.
