Can someone explain to me why escalating conflict in the Middle East, or anywhere really, causes markets to drop?

I've been wondering about this myself. I assume markets are real indicators of if people are feeling fear versus greed.

I think the implication is a lot of wealth will be destroyed and economic energy expended on non-productive activities as conflict increases

But I dunno I'm dumb stay humble stack sats

There’s money to be made in destroying leveraged positions.
