Equity markets dropped just 2% in the first week. Financial media is citing average post-conflict returns, but averages obscure the range of outcomes and miss what actually matters this time.In this episode, I break down why the "do nothing" playbook carries more risk than usual, what the crude oil forward curve is telling us in real time, and the five signals I am watching to determine whether this is a short-term disruption or a durable energy supply shock.Topics covered:• Why average post-conflict market returns are practically useless• Four conditions that make this conflict different from past geopolitical shocks• The China-Iran relationship and what it means for investors• Three common knee-jerk reactions and how to think about each one• Five real-time indicators to monitor going forwardThis is not financial advice.
