Geopolitical risks are intensifying as reports surface of potential Israeli military action against Iran and US special forces deployments to Yemen. This escalation is fueling a supply shock in energy markets, with Brent crude surging 14% month-over-month and WTI approaching $90. The rally benefits upstream energy producers and refiners but poses a significant cost headwind for airlines and global logistics, reinforcing a bearish outlook for consumer discretionary spending.
