"The Iran war has disrupted markets with oil up 40% and stocks down 10%, but political pressures from upcoming midterms will force rapid resolution. With Trump facing 57% disapproval and a thin House majority, ending the conflict is politically essential."
The Iran war that began in late February has disrupted President Trump's economic agenda, causing oil prices to surge 40%, the dollar to strengthen 2%, and Treasury yields to rise 0.5%. The NASDAQ fell 10% into correction territory while commodities soared 24.4% as the conflict effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz. Core inflation remains elevated at 3.1%, well above the Fed's 2% target, with energy price spikes expected to push it higher. The labor market shows fragility with unemployment rising to 4.4% and weak job creation. However, the manager expects a rapid resolution driven by political necessity, as President Trump faces 57-59% disapproval ratings with midterm elections seven months away and Republicans holding only a 3-seat House margin. Once hostilities cease, energy prices should normalize, inflationary pressures should ease, and favorable fundamentals including robust earnings growth projections of 17.1% for 2026 should reassert themselves. The manager sees this as a temporary disruption to an otherwise constructive investment environment.
