Connection thesis
Oil and food price dynamics are decoupling from geopolitical risk pricing. Physical crude is tumbling despite Middle East supply disruptions and Iranian escalation warnings (289074 explicitly flags this), while vegetable-oil inflation is pushing global food prices to 2023 highs. This suggests either: (a) demand destruction is outpacing supply fear, or (b) futures traders are frontrunning a broader stagflation shock that equity markets haven't yet priced. The spread between physical/futures oil and rising food inflation is a classic pre-stagflation signal.
