Stocks celebrate best quarter in years, but Middle East turmoil lights a fuse un

Created

Thesis

The broader market is heading for its best quarter in six years, showing that investors are generally in a buying mood and willing to chase growth. However, a flare-up in the Middle East just sent oil prices jumping after a tanker was hit. Combined with the U.S. plans to modernize the military, this geopolitical tension is directly fueling a surge in defense spending. AeroVironment just capitalized on this by booming 28% after their revenue and backlog doubled. Connecting the strong stock market environment with rising geopolitical risks paints a clear picture: investors will continue to reward defense contractors with exposure to modern military tech like drones.

Strategy approach

Build a rule-based momentum strategy that enters long AVAV on D1 when crude oil (CL=F) rises >3% in a single session (indicating geopolitical tension). Use a 10-day average volume filter to confirm accumulation. Exit on a 8% hard stop loss or a 30-day max hold.
