The dominant theme remains the US-Iran peace deal, now in an ESCALATING phase with concrete execution details. Trump stated at the G7 that the deal is 'all signed' and the Strait of Hormuz will be 'completely open' by Friday, corroborated by Al Jazeera, NBC, and multiple sources. However, AP reports that even with a deal, it could take weeks or months for oil to fully flow, and Bloomberg notes the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve has hit a 43-year low (340.3 million barrels), limiting the administration's ability to tame gas prices. The G7 summit in Évian is underway with Iran diplomacy and energy security on the agenda. Separately, the Fox-Roku M&A deal is confirmed by Hacker News and multiple sources, marking a high-significance consolidation event in streaming. SpaceX IPO continues to generate buzz, with retail investors buying $117 million on day one and analysts rebranding the 'Magnificent 7' to 'FAB 10' to include SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic. A Bloomberg headline 'US Oil Reserve Hits 43-Year Low' and the AP counter-signal on oil flow delays are macro signals weighing on the energy crisis resolution narrative. The narrative arc is: US-Iran deal ESCALATING (from framework to signed MoU with Trump's Friday deadline and first tanker transit), Fox-Roku M&A as a new high-significance development, and SpaceX IPO as a positive sentiment driver. Counter-signal: The SPR depletion to 43-year low and AP's warning that oil flow could take weeks/months dampen the bullish energy crisis resolution narrative, suggesting limited capacity for further strategic releases and a slower-than-expected normalization.
