Regarding the Middle East and potential war with Iran, Busch notes that in every war, "it's the defense contractors, the military suppliers" that benefit. The US military buildup in the Gulf is the largest since the Iraq war. Regardless of a full-scale invasion, this posturing requires replenishment of munitions and maintenance of hardware, directly benefiting the prime defense contractors. Long Aerospace & Defense. A sudden diplomatic resolution or peace treaty would cause a rapid repricing of the geopolitical risk premium.

Busch states the "Mag 7" trade is tired and facing capex volatility. He explicitly says, "What investors need to look at is those sectors that are going to benefit from that AI infrastructure buildout. So everything from materials, industrials, energy producers, utilities." The hundreds of billions being spent by hyperscalers (Tech) must flow somewhere. It flows into the physical economy required to build data centers, generate power, and supply raw materials. This is a sector rotation from "Digital AI" (Software/Chips) to "Physical AI" (Grid/Construction). Long the physical infrastructure sectors. If AI capex spending slows down due to lack of ROI, these downstream sectors will lose their primary growth driver.
