What it means
A mutual halt to U.S.-Iran attacks has historically been associated with a sharp unwind of the oil risk premium — crude has already plunged ~5% on the news. Safe-haven gold typically softens as conflict risk recedes, while broader equities tend to recover on reduced geopolitical tail risk. The key question is whether this halt holds; any resumption of hostilities would quickly reverse these moves. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
