Even as ceasefire frays, Trump and Iran shy away from full war

Context
The United States and Iran are escalating their tit-for-tat strikes, posing the biggest threat yet to their framework deal.
What it means
This headline describes a continuation of the same Iran-US tension that delfee has already covered across 6 prior signals. The key market channels — crude oil, gold, and defense stocks — were already called in earlier chains. Crucially, the headline itself signals restraint: both sides are 'shying away from full war,' which means no new escalation channel has opened that isn't already reflected in current prices.
