Oil just flipped the script — WTI spiked 1.6% to tag $84, and geopolitics is back in the driver's seat. 🛢️ Just two days after sliding ~3% on hopes of easing US–Iran tensions, crude reversed hard. WTI hit an intraday high of $84.24, closing up 1.58% at $83.53 , while Brent jumped 2.12% to $89.70 . The trigger: Trump's negative stance on a ceasefire with Iran — pouring cold water on the de-escalation trade that had been pricing risk out of the barrel. The whiplash tells you everything about this market: every headline on Iran is moving oil by the percentage point in both directions. Supply-risk premium is back on the menu, and it's not leaving quietly. #WTICrudeRises1.6%To$84 #SP500Rises0.7%TechSectorGains3.3% #MarvellFallsOver5%AfterHours #OktaCrowdStrikeSurgeOnEarningsBeat #BitcoinHoldsNear$79400
