Trail
Connection thesis
Geopolitical fragmentation accelerates (Russia-Cuba fuel alignment, China moon race, Iran war escalation, Macron-Trump split on conflict management). This signals regime-level instability and policy unpredictability. Oil volatility (current spike) will persist with widening bid-ask spreads on duration uncertainty. Equities repricing geopolitical risk premium unevenly across sectors.
