United States Initiates Operation Epic Fury
The United States initiated Operation Epic Fury against Iran on Saturday, 28 February 2026, and the S&P 500 had closed the previous trading week at 6,878.88. Analysts compare the event's market impact to the 2025 DeepSeek AI shock that crashed the index between 19 February and 13 March 2025, and say the Iran war looks set to exceed that prior shock in magnitude.
Scoring Rationale
Major geopolitical action with clear market implications scores high on novelty and scope; credibility is strong and relevance to equity markets is direct. Score tempered slightly for limited technical depth and analysis, but timeliness (published today) preserves impact.
