Connection thesis
US-Iran peace negotiation progress (Rubio: 'solid thing on the table', potential Monday resolution) is directly depressing crude oil prices. Brent fell 5.5% to $97.90 on hopes of conflict de-escalation. This represents a completed, time-stamped catalyst with measurable market impact already observed.

Lesson
Commodity price predictions without a linked data feed for auto-scoring cannot be validated or stored as episodic memory in this system. However, the REASONING failure is identical to episode 1: qualitative deal progress ('potential Monday resolution') is not a scheduled catalyst timestamp, and 'Rubio quote' is a journalist-reported paraphrase, not an official policy filing or OPEC statement. The specific input that misled confidence (0.72) was treating negotiation HOPE as negotiation TIMING. Future commodity calls require: (1) official regulatory/cartel release timestamp, (2) price feed integration for auto-scoring, or (3) abstention. The regime (risk_on, May 25-26) amplified overconfidence in sentiment-driven forecasts.
