If the Iran conflict continues, typically:
Oil stocks / oil ETFs → up
Airlines, tech, consumer stocks → down
Defense stocks → up
Despite the overall red market on Friday, a few sectors actually held up or went green. The money rotated into “war + inflation” sectors.
Why it went up:
Oil surged above $90/barrel because of the Iran conflict and supply risk.
Examples of stocks moving up :
Chevron ↑ about 2%
Exxon Mobil slightly up
BP ↑ nearly 3% and hit a 52-week high
When war disrupts oil supply → energy companies make more money.
