Why is the market not crashing?

A

\- Brent Crude oil is 40% higher compared to pre-war levels.

\- Closed strait of Hormuz with no outlook on reopening anytime soon.

\- Negotiations between US and Iran in Pakistan failed during the weekend. No outlook on reaching agreement anytime soon.

\- Real risk of US invading Iran and escalating the situation much more.

\- Inflation is higher already as a consequence of the high oil prices.

Despite all of this, the markets are almost at an ATH today. After the weekend’s development, the market will open only about 0.3% lower.

Can anyone actually explain what’s going on with the market? Why is it literally ignoring all the news and basically growing every day?
