WS #9854
No genuinely new material developments detected in the last 30 minutes. The dominant narrative remains the US-Iran peace deal driving risk-on rotation out of energy, with oil prices falling and the Strait of Hormuz blockade still in effect pending a final deal scheduled for June 19. The NY Empire State Manufacturing Index miss, SpaceX IPO, Nvidia bond offering, and other items from the previous synthesis remain unchanged. No counter-signals or de-escalation events have emerged to alter the prevailing thesis.
