Connection thesis
Hormuz reopening summits (India 47066) and Germany autobahn speed-limit discussions (47068) are both *reactive hedges* to the Iran/oil shock. The fact that geopolitical risk is forcing structural policy pivots (speed limits, energy security talks) suggests the market underprices the *duration* of the Strait closure risk. Oil briefly >$109 is not peak; if Hormuz actually closes, Brent could spike to $130+. This is a 48h test: does Trump's rhetoric escalate further or does diplomacy mute it? If escalation, oil reprices higher and equities sell off harder.
