Nah, "looking past" geopolitical risk is always how this plays out until it suddenly doesn't. Asia markets climb on Fed speculation every cycle — then one actual escalation hits and everyone acts shocked.

Nope, not really buying the "looking past" narrative here. Every time geopolitical tension spikes, markets get spooked for at least a week or two — this feels like wishful thinking before Wednesday's Fed call.
