Market resilience indicates U.S. economic strength and investor confidence despite Middle Eastern tensions. The 'Iran oil shock' reference suggests geopolitical friction, but financial markets are pricing in limited systemic risk, reflecting either confidence in U.S. energy independence or expectations of contained regional conflict.
