Trail
Connection thesis
UAE OPEC exit (216655, validating earlier narrative) now paired with Iran oil standoff escalation (216652) creates a bifurcated supply signal: cartel enforcement breaks down while geopolitical premium widens. This is a structural fracture—prices rise but for unstable reasons. Real yields above 1.0% mean the Fed won't cut to ease energy inflation. Oil stays elevated, but cartel-price predictability collapses.
