No material new developments in the last 30 minutes. The Strait of Hormuz crisis narrative remains unchanged, with no new data points on negotiations, oil prices, or US munitions. Corporate earnings moves (FOXA, WBD, CMRC) are stale and already reflected in the previous synthesis. No counter-signals or de-escalation signals emerged in this window.
