How can a celebrity post move markets?

Viral posts can re-center public attention on a policy risk and compress the timeline for reactions. That can shift options pricing, widen spreads, and push flows into perceived havens. The effect is often brief, but if officials speak soon after, the combined signal can produce larger, tradable moves.

Which sectors are most sensitive to Trump Iran tensions?

Energy and shipping feel it first through risk premiums, insurance costs, and route changes. Airlines and chemicals can face input-cost pressure. Defense and cybersecurity often see steadier demand signals. Insurance and logistics can reprice coverage. Broadly, sentiment lifts volatility across indexes when escalation risk rises.

What should I watch on The View appearance?

Watch whether Morgan Freeman addresses Iran directly, how hosts frame questions, and any quick responses from policymakers. Also track same-day briefings or statements. If discussion aligns with official signals, markets may react. If it stays cultural, the effect may be a short-lived sentiment blip.
