Trail
Connection thesis
Iran strait closure narrative is consolidating across Reuters data. Trump administration is messaging acceptance of 'economic pain,' but diesel cost strain on US school budgets signals second-order demand destruction (rural budgetary stress). Market has priced Iran premium into oil; the real signal is that institutions (schools) are now forced to absorb costs rather than pass them through. This is demand elasticity breaking, not just geopolitical premium.
