Connection thesis
Trump's Iran escalation rhetoric (repeated threats, strikes near Mashhad airport) is causing oil price spikes (Brent to $108.95) but equity markets are NOT capitulating as historical stagflation logic would predict. This is the third cycle of this pattern—the market is pricing Iran war as contained, not systemic. The disconnect between oil shock and equity resilience suggests either (1) oil is being absorbed by demand destruction, or (2) the market has already priced terminal escalation and is waiting for actual de-escalation to reverse. Trump's address 'failed to soothe markets' per [37479], but equities did not crack—this is the key inversion.
