The defense minister signed a missile production expansion agreement. Meanwhile, the U.S. and Iran are once again at odds in the Middle East. Logically, the military-industrial sector should have shown a reaction. In $BOT 24 hours, however, it still fell 3.43%, with the funding rate turning negative. The shorts are essentially paying the longs, and the bearish sentiment looks somewhat crowded.

Escalation of geopolitical conflict is basically an open secret, but oil prices shot up to 90 yuan, dragging down the entire broad market—and even weighing on defense stocks that should have benefited. This is a single signal. The funding rate indicates that shorts are crowded, yet the price hasn’t dropped enough to fully reflect that—so the structure feels a bit contradictory.

If the conflict continues to escalate afterward, this rebound could be very strong.
