The story
The U.S. and Iran exchanged military strikes near the Strait of Hormuz, sending Treasury yields higher as risk-off and oil-supply-disruption fears compete. The setup creates a classic geopolitical spike trade: crude and defense names pop on fear while long-duration Treasuries face conflicting safe-haven demand vs. inflation/supply shock repricing.
The two-sided take
The house read
Wrong ifGeopolitical spikes routinely reverse within 48-72 hours if escalation stalls or a ceasefire/de-escalation headline drops; a full risk-off capitulation where equities crater and safe-haven Treasury demand overwhelms the inflation fear would also kill the short-TLT leg and compress the defense/crude pop faster than the stop allows.
