It depends on oil — not emotion.

The only real economic transmission channel from the Iran conflict to Pakistan is energy pricing.

A 10% oil rise sustained for 12 months implies under $2 billion additional burden. That does not justify systemic equity collapse.

What causes crashes is leverage and panic — not arithmetic.


Four Sellers in a Geopolitical Shock

  1. Leveraged investors forced to unwind.

  2. Panic sellers imagining worst-case collapse.

  3. Opportunistic traders attempting 10–30% swings.

  4. Fundamentalists stress-testing oil at $100+.

History shows the first two lose the most.
