What If Iran Doesn’t Stop When We Do?

July 17, 2026 – Chase Taylor breaks down another rise in oil prices as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains severely restricted and the risk of disruption spreads toward the Red Sea. The market appears to assume the United States can de-escalate whenever it chooses—but what happens if Iran decides not to stop? Chase examines the low-probability, high-impact scenario that could send oil sharply higher, along with China’s latest AI breakthrough, weakness in the biggest technology names, a potential turnaround in New Zealand, and why modern warfare is exposing serious flaws in America’s defense strategy.

The Risk Markets Refuse to Price

July 16, 2026 - Markets are pricing the war as though the biggest energy risk is simply whether the Strait of Hormuz opens or closes. Chase Taylor argues that the more dangerous scenario may be lasting damage to refineries, pipelines, export terminals, and other infrastructure that cannot reopen overnight. With semiconductor and memory stocks already experiencing violent drawdowns, leverage is beginning to reveal itself in unexpected places. A sudden energy shock could expose even more of it—spilling into equities, bonds, currencies, inflation, and consumer spending. The question is not whether the worst-case scenario is inevitable. It is whether portfolios are prepared for a risk that markets appear to be treating as though it barely exists.
