Trail
Connection thesis
Saudi Arabia's spending era ending (NYT World) + Iran war shaking global energy costs and recession fears (NPR). Inverse relationship: petro-dollar demand contracting while geopolitical risk premium on oil expanding. This creates a compression wedge—nominal energy prices may spike while real demand deflates. Deflationary signal for emerging markets, inflationary pressure on US energy imports.
