Trail
Connection thesis
UAE's OPEC exit (216944, echoing prior narrative on cartel fracture) + oil hitting highest price since 2022 on Iran war uncertainty (216929) = cartel enforcement collapse is now being priced INTO energy markets rather than ignored. When crude rises despite OPEC fragmentation, it signals supply-side genuine scarcity (Iran geopolitical risk) overwhelming the loss of cartel coordination. This breaks the prior pattern where OPEC fracture was invisible to markets. Energy complex is now pricing geopolitical risk directly, not cartel action.
