5-11-26 Iran Headlines Rattle Markets | Before the Bell

Markets are reacting to renewed Iran tensions as oil prices rise and stock futures weaken. Energy stocks are leading while the Mag-7 trades lower, but the bigger concern may be how stretched markets have become after weeks of relentless gains. This "Bull Stampede" rally has pushed sentiment back to extreme bullishness, volatility remains very low, and markets are now heavily extended above long-term trends. History suggests these setups often lead to fast reversions, with 3% to 5% pullbacks arriving quickly once a catalyst appears. Will it come from Iran, inflation data, or the Trump-Xi meeting? Nobody knows the trigger, but markets rarely stay this overbought forever. The good news is that corrections within strong momentum-driven bull markets have historically created buying opportunities, not the start of major bear markets. We discuss oil, market complacency, volatility risks, investor sentiment, and why short-term corrections may ultimately support a longer-term bullish outlook.
