Stocks down and oil up as Donald Trump declares Iran ceasefire over

What it means
This headline confirms a continuation of the Iran-US tension already covered in six prior signals over the past 11 days. The moves in crude oil, gold, and defense stocks were already called in earlier chains. Trump declaring the ceasefire over restates and reinforces the existing tension narrative rather than introducing a new actor, channel, or genuine escalation beyond what markets have already had time to price. No new causal chain is warranted.
