KEY TAKEAWAYS 

Though war and defense spending can amount to a sizable portion of the U.S. GDP, wars often have little sustained impact on stock markets or economic growth at home. 

Markets largely have ignored recent conflicts related to the Middle East and Iran. 

A broader regional war, however, may have a more severe impact, especially on oil and other commodity prices. 

Still, stock markets have often quickly recovered to pre-invasion levels only a matter of days or weeks after armed conflicts or standoffs begin.
