The U.S. missile attack against a Syrian airport marks a significant departure in U.S. Middle East policy that may indicate a greater willingness to use military force against the Syrian regime. Such a change would bring with it a demand for more military hardware, and investors are signaling this morning that U.S. defense contractors are expected to benefit from a more hard-power policy.

President Donald Trump on Thursday evening ordered the firing of at least 59 Tomahawk missiles from two U.S. Navy battleships as a retaliatory strike against the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad for its use of chemical weapons against the country’s own citizens earlier this week.
