The market barely seems bothered right now. Energy prices can jump sharply on a geopolitical headline, yet stocks are acting like it's just another day. A lot of investors still remember getting shaken out the last time tensions flared up, only to watch the Nasdaq rally more than 25% afterward. Getting caught on the sidelines like that is a painful lesson, and most people don't want to repeat it.
That's why this feels like it could turn into a historic Grande Taco Tuesday. Trump is brushing off the usual "chirping" from critics while also saying Iran "really wants to make a deal" and that any agreement would be good for both America and its allies. The missile headlines grab attention, but the market seems more focused on the messaging. Traders have seen this playbook before: escalating rhetoric, nonstop headlines, plenty of uncertainty, and then somehow a deal shows up when everyone least expects it.
