Connection thesis
Trump's public threats ('Stone Age', 'extremely hard') are increasing in rhetorical intensity but paired with vague execution timelines ('coming weeks', 'very sh[ortly]' truncated). This pattern — public escalation + operational ambiguity — historically precedes either de-escalation (negotiation theater) or rapid kinetic compression (strikes complete faster than threatened, reducing open-ended risk). Oil's spike to $109 Brent is a fear response; if no major new strikes occur in next 48h AND Trump's next statement reframes the conflict as 'contained' or 'objectives met', oil rolls over and equities rally. The market has NOT yet de-risked this; it's waiting on Trump's NEXT communication.

Prediction
If no new major strikes occur in next 48h, oil (Brent) drops $2-3/bbl and SPY rallies +0.8% to +1.5%; if strikes continue, SPY remains flat to -0.5% and oil holds >$107
