President Trump warned Iran it has '48 hours left', creating a risk of near-term escalation; the report also notes a missing airman. This raises immediate risk-off dynamics: oil prices could rise several percent, defense stocks may rally, equities could fall low-single digits and Treasuries may rally (yields down a few bps) as investors seek safe havens. Portfolio managers should consider trimming geopolitical- and energy-exposed positions and add hedges in rates, FX or defense exposure.
