    This opinion piece argues against the notion that a de-escalation or end to conflict with Iran would automatically trigger a positive "Trump Bump" on Wall Street. The author likely suggests that geopolitical tensions are only one of many factors influencing market performance, and other economic fundamentals or policy decisions would have a more significant impact.
