Volatility surged on Monday following U.S.-Israeli strikes on Tehran this weekend, resulting in the death of Iran’s leader Khamenei while blowing a gaping hole into an already teetering Middle East power balance. Energy was by far the strongest sector in the S&P 500 as WTI Crude Oil prices spiked by nearly 10% well above $70 per barrel, though the Treasury market was also hardly a beneficiary of safe-haven flows as investors recalibrated the inflationary impact of costlier gas prices into more complicated assumptions for Fed easing. Industrials also outperformed as Defense names rallied, though Consumer stocks – particularly airlines and cruise lines – buckled under the weight of lower discretionary spending implications of a higher price tag at the pump. The Vix briefly topped the 25-hangle – the highest level since November.

Trade ACHR with leverageStocks bounced from the gap lower Monday morning, though the evening session is seeing uneasiness persist as investors mull the implications and assess the likely duration and the potential range of macroeconomic outcomes as the conflict unfolds. S&P e-minis and Nasdaq 100 futures are off by more than 0.2%. In commodities, Gold – already the beneficiaries of geopolitical turbulence – also remains bid above $5,370 per ounce, while Crude Oil remains north of $71 per barrel.
