Connection thesis
Trump's public signal of Iran war winding down in 2-3 weeks is creating a near-term ceasefire premium in equities and oil. The signal is probabilistic (not a binding commitment), which means markets are pricing a *distribution* of outcomes weighted toward de-escalation. Oil nearing post-Feb-28 highs suggests traders are still hedging tail risk, but equity rallies (Nikkei +4%, Kospi +6.5%) indicate the probability mass has shifted toward resolution within the stated window. This premium will compress or invert if Trump revises the timeline or if adversary actions (Iranian retaliation, proxy strikes) suggest the war is expanding rather than contracting.
