Author argues the strong 4.4% US GDP print and easing tariff rhetoric are shifting the market out of safe havens and back toward risk assets, and mentions investigating defense/data/geopolitics-exposed equities such as Palantir.

PLTR — LONG The author says he started researching stocks exposed to data, defense and geopolitics, naming Palantir, because a tense geopolitical backdrop (Trump rhetoric toward Iran and Greenland) should favor capital flows into such names. The stated mechanism is sector rotation toward defense/data-linked equities during periods of heightened geopolitical stress, with the author noting the decision 'wasn't absurd' so far. No explicit catalyst date or price target is given, and the author frames the broader phase as a transition toward risk assets.

So I started digging into stocks exposed to data, defense, and geopolitics, like Palantir, thinking that in such a tense environment, capital would first rotate toward traditional assets, especially with Trump’s rhetoric toward Iran and Greenland.
