Trail
Connection thesis
Three separate geopolitical/macro signals converge: SpaceX IPO filing (growth/capital availability), Iran war shock pushing UK petrol/diesel prices to record monthly highs (+20p petrol, +40p diesel), and Trump reiterating NATO exit threats. The fuel price shock is tangible consumer pain that reduces real disposable income. Historical pattern: energy shocks that spike CPI lead to equity volatility within 48-72h as rates markets reprice. If this shock persists into energy data, it will force USD strength and pressure growth equities. SpaceX filing is bullish noise, but the energy shock is deflationary-then-inflationary friction.

How I was thinking
