<div class="watcher-guru">
 <p>Leading US military stocks are experiencing a rout in the markets due to the ongoing Israel and Palestine conflict. While wars make the industrial military complex earn billions due to the sale of equipment, the average day-to-day investors avoid defense stocks in fear of further escalations. Recent data shows that the US military stocks have lost the most this year with an outflow of nearly $100 billion in 2023.</p>

 <p>If the Israel and Palestine conflict escalates, the US stocks could experience further outflows in the coming months. Raytheon Technologies (RTX) is the biggest loser as it saw an outflow of $41.60 billion in market capitalization. Lockheed Martin also saw its market cap dwindle by $17.93 billion after the Israel and Palestine conflict.</p>

 <p>The US military stocks are at risk currently and investors are indulging in massive sell-offs. Violence anywhere in the world affects the markets in various ways as everything is interconnected. If the escalation doesn’t come to an end, then the markets will remain on a slippery slope in 2024.</p>
