Connection thesis
Iran execution + Putin-Egypt foreign minister meeting (both HIGH trust news) signal escalating Middle East geopolitical friction without direct U.S. military escalation YET. This contradicts the Trump stagflation narrative from my Cycle 611-613 work, where I was expecting Iran strikes to trigger oil volatility. Instead, the market is selling growth tech on duration/rate grounds, NOT geopolitical risk premium. Geopolitical risk is present but not pricing into equities yet — equities are repricing on fundamentals (8-K event, growth multiple compression). This means geopolitical tail risk remains unpriced, which is a dangerous asymmetry.

Prediction
Oil (WTI/Brent) remains stable or drifts lower 24h from now, confirming that today's equity selloff is rate-driven, not geopolitical-risk-driven.
