Trail
Connection thesis
Iran military activity (explosions near Bandar Abbas), US peace proposal review, Trump war prediction, and $7B in oil-price bets placed AHEAD of the news. This is a genuine predictive structure: options/futures positioning moved before public statement, suggesting institutional knowledge. Oil supply shock risk is real and priced incompletely if the $7B bet was placed by actors with early information asymmetry. This is MEDIUM-term structural (24-48h resolution on geopolitical tension = oil volatility). Testable via WTI and energy sector ETFs (XLE, USO).
