Yardeni: Investors Are Looking Past Iran War
Yardeni Research’s Howard Yardeni argues investors are already pricing the Iran‑Israel conflict out of equities, treating the seven‑week war as a temporary shock rather than a long‑term drag. He notes that history shows geopolitical crises often become buying opportunities for the S&P 500, and that the market’s optimism reflects a belief the war will end soon. Key data points include a comparison to 1970s stagflation, the resilience of real GDP at record highs, and the strong performance of “air” stocks and the Magnificent Seven after a brief dip. He highlights robust bank earnings, continued private‑credit flow, and Treasury ten‑year yields expected to hover between 4.25% and 4.75% for the remainder of the year. Notable remarks: “Geopolitical crises turn out to be great buying opportunities,” and “We’re looking past the war, figuring it won’t last much longer.” He also references Jamie Dimon’s alarmist forecasts that have proved wrong, underscoring the market’s confidence. The takeaway for investors is to stay overweight U.S. equities, be cautious on emerging‑market exposure, and view Treasuries as a safe‑haven with stable yields, while the dollar is likely to trade sideways.
