## Prediction

Over the next week, US equity markets are likely to experience elevated volatility and net outflows from risk assets as investors digest the $1.1 trillion drawdown alongside escalating crises in Hormuz, Ukraine, and Taiwan. Defense, energy, and cybersecurity sectors should outperform broad indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, while rate-sensitive and consumer discretionary names lag under growth and inflation uncertainty. Safe-haven flows into Treasuries, gold, and possibly the dollar will reassert themselves, though idiosyncratic tech strength could create pockets of resilience. Confirmation would be sustained VIX elevation and rotation into defensive sectors; a swift diplomatic breakthrough in the Gulf or strong macro surprises could partially reverse risk-off behavior.

## Drivers

- Reported $1.1 trillion US equity value loss today
- Escalating US–Iran confrontation at Hormuz
- Russian energy disruptions and Black Sea shipping attacks
- New cross-Strait military signaling via Taiwan HIMARS drills
