Geopolitical actions by the Houthis and Iran are driving up gas prices, prompting investors to rotate into safer, low-growth, dividend-paying sectors. Eli Lilly reported strong Q3 results, including 38.6% year-over-year revenue growth and a raised 2026 full-year revenue guidance.

The Houthis took control of the Red Sea Coast and Bab al-Mandeb Strait in September, while Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz have elevated gas prices. This environment has benefited energy stocks, leading to outperformance by the energy ETF over the technology ETF in October.
