markets have priced in the apocalypse so many times that actual apocalypse would just be "uncertainty removed from the equation"
Sentiment analysis of a tweet about Iran sinking a US carrier: 26.32% supportive, 44.74% confronting. Reviews public reaction and market and oil effects.
At this point I'm convinced that if Iran actually hit and sank a US aircraft carrier - markets would shoot to ATH and oil would go to $1.

What the community is saying — both sides
some argue the market already discounts extreme downside, so a catastrophic event would simply remove uncertainty and could paradoxically be bullish.
a faction expects another oil-price collapse and says “if oil goes down, stocks go up” (ending blockades/geopolitical drag and benefiting the concentrated winners).
commenters contend the stock market is a game dominated by a few mega-cap winners, so broad economic pain for most people barely moves the market’s math.
multiple replies claim the Trump administration is actively propping up prices — coordinating with Israeli interests, using the U.S. Treasury, and even showing a midday chart as evidence of intervention.
several voices say the market is "delusional," driven by algos and forced institutional buying, and arranged to "keep the rich happy" rather than reflect fundamentals.
commenters note a mismatch between the physical market and futures — "physical is not below $100, the futures are" — and worry that real-world disruptions (strait closures, naval blockades) aren't being priced in.
some replies treat the event as a temporary grift or Sunday panic and advise investors there’s no reason to alter strategy for the longer term.
critics warn that military actions will saddle taxpayers with costs for generations, framing intervention as an expensive folly.
a stream of personal attacks and tribalism — insults, slurs, and calls to "move" if one disagrees — dominate a portion of the replies.
a mix of hyperbolic mockery ("sun goes supernova") and blunt market calls ("LOWER!!!", "Bottom") reflects both ridicule of the panic and opportunistic short-term sentiment.

It’s insane honestly The strait hasn’t been fully opened for weeks and the Navy has enacted a blockade and yet the oil market’s barely budging Not that people will complain as it limits price increases but with recent news, it doesn’t match the world news

The tRUmp admin is manipulating the market using the U.S. Treasury.
