Connection thesis
Brent crude setting record monthly gains while Hormuz closure risk remains unresolved creates a classic war-premium squeeze on oil. Reuters reports simultaneously flag de-escalation hopes AND prolonged closure risk — this binary outcome uncertainty is exactly the stagflation trigger Paulson identified. Oil-sensitive equities (energy, materials, small-caps) should underperform as traders price in sustained energy cost headwinds. This directly explains IWM underperformance.
