No material new developments in the last 30 minutes. The Strait of Hormuz crisis narrative remains unchanged with no new escalation or de-escalation signals, and no new data points on the Iran-Oman talks, the ADNOC vessel attack, or the US Senate sanctions bill. Corporate news on Alphabet's bond raise and Amazon's gas plant is also unchanged. The dominant narrative is stable, and no counter-signals or non-dominant-narrative developments have emerged.
