What it means

Crude prices rising above $90 on US-Iran tensions is a continuation of the ongoing Strait of Hormuz risk scenario that delfee has been tracking for 46 days. The Brent crude upside move was already called in prior signals, and this headline adds no new actor, escalation step, or channel beyond what is already reflected in current prices.
