Oil prices surge as US strikes Iran, reversing slide to pre-war levels

Context
Brent crude rises above $76 a barrel for the first time in two weeks amid renewed violence in Strait of Hormuz.
What it means
This headline describes a crude-oil price surge that is itself the market reaction — the move to $76 Brent is the asset repricing, not a new cause of one. Brent, WTI, gold, and defense were all already called upward in prior signals covering this same Iran-US escalation. There is no new causal channel here beyond what has already been reflected in those earlier chains.
