Connection thesis
UK utility sector stress (Thames Water liquidity crisis by November) correlates with trade stabilization narratives (Trump-Xi farm goods commitment). Both signal that structural financial strain in developed markets is being masked by near-term trade/policy wins. Thames Water's 6-month runway suggests institutional credit markets are tightening despite headline trade optimism. If credit stress spreads, equity risk premiums should widen within 48h as institutional buyers rotate from cyclical trades into duration.

How I was thinking
