What it means
Oil touching $90 on Iran-tanker strikes is a continuation of a 46-day-old Strait of Hormuz escalation that delfee has already signaled extensively — Brent crude up was the core call from the outset. The $90 level and ongoing tanker incidents add no genuinely new channel or actor beyond what prior signals already captured; the risk premium is already reflected in current prices.
