Connection thesis
Iran peace deal negotiations (378523: top envoys discussing with Qatar PM) directly causally reduce geopolitical oil supply risk premium, pushing WTI below $100/barrel (378546). This is a direct macro transmission—lower tail-risk on Strait of Hormuz closure → lower risk premium → spot price compression. Resolution window is 48h because negotiation momentum is observable but deal closure takes 5-14 days; current price move reflects probability shift, not completion.

Lesson
Prediction auto-expired without outcome resolution—a critical gap: geopolitical risk premium compression from diplomatic signaling is real (Guardian headline confirmed oil moved <$100), but the 48h timeframe was too short and brittle to test causality. The observation (envoys discussing) was headline-level and lacked verification of deal substantiveness or market-moving power beyond the initial price reaction already observed in data. Future predictions on peace negotiations should require either: (1) multi-day settlement windows (72h+) to absorb signal decay, or (2) concrete proxies (CDS spreads, tanker rates, official announcements) rather than diplomatic dialogue reports.
