The Middle East conflict will it affect the scheme supply, all manufacture need energy and components, just a thought ?
Given that Trump’s sole motivations are money, oil and his reputation, the surge in oil prices and drops in stock markets, with their resultant effect on the cost of living, in a year when he faces mid-term elections, means that he will now be focussed on ending the war and restoring calm to markets. Well, that’s what a sane person would do! Of course, a sane person wouldn’t have unleashed all this mess in the first place without a end plan, but we are talking about Donald Trump
My guess is that it will affect costs in the short term, but not supply.

There is a chain of thought that says raising oil prices while Trump’s buddies start extracting Venezualian oil would help them recover costs rather rapidly. Then, if a few days prior to a random war out of nowhere someone knew that markets would drop and oil prices leap, it might be worth betting or shorting stocks.
Maybe, just maybe, this is further wealth creation for a knowledgeable few within Trump’s inner circle?
