Doomers vs. the market - why was the market UP today?

I don't get it.

Maybe I'm just trapped in a doom loop of YouTube and the rest, but anyone looking for dire news can find it.


\- many countries are close to running out of natural gas and diesel fuel (for starters)

\- if the Iran war ended today, there would be years of serious after-effects (food shortages from lack of fertilizer, electronics shortages from lack of helium, aluminum shortages and on an on)

\- it's not ending today. The USA is justifying its actions as accelerating Armageddon and the rapture.

\- Interest rates are less likely to decline any time foreseeable

\- gasoline prices are likely to continue to rise in the US... and even moreso elsewhere

And yet... the market was up today.
