Priority disconnect here?

So apparently the stock market was slightly rocked by the passage of two Iranian warships through the Suez Canal: (one of many articles on the financial pages):

Iran Warship Reports Drive Up Haven Assets

So I'm sitting at my office, reading the ticker chain, and see this dip in my assets:

"WTF? Why is this?  WHAT? Two warships going through the Suez Canal?  What are they thinking?  Haven't they seen my portofolio??"

Somehow, this just seems... wrong.
