Senate Rejects Measure to Limit Trump's Iran Military Powers
Congressional Democrats fail to constrain the President's authority over Iran policy.
What happened
The US Senate rejected a Democratic-led resolution designed to curb President Trump's power to wage war against Iran, according to Reuters. The outcome leaves Trump's Iran policy decisions unconstrained by the failed legislative check.
What it means for the Nasdaq and TQQQ
Senate rejection of war-powers constraints on Iran policy signals potential latitude for unilateral executive action on the Iran question. This can increase geopolitical risk and uncertainty about US-Iran escalation, which tends to support oil prices and inflation expectations at the expense of growth equities. Tech stocks and TQQQ can underperform in periods of heightened foreign policy unpredictability.
