War in Iran: Stock and Bond Investors Split on Risk

Stock markets are rising as investors bet companies will see huge profits from the conflict. Bond investors, however, are selling, fearing long-term economic damage. Treasury bonds, which usually gain value during crises, are falling. This rare split between stocks and bonds signals deep uncertainty. Stock buyers focus on short-term gains from war spending and higher oil prices. Bond buyers worry about inflation, rising debt, and a possible recession. The market is sending two opposite messages at once. For now, neither side is backing down.
