Brent Rebounds, Trump Speech Confirms Prior Pricing
Brent is up $5.70 to $107 since Trump’s speech. The drop to $100 was a roll artifact from May to June, not a real easing. Now it’s pushing back toward the pre-roll $118 level. Trump didn’t change the market—he confirmed what it already...
Trump Signals Escalation While Seeking Quiet Exit
Escalate into forever war—or walk away, writes Charles Walldorf. My take: Trump wants out, but there’s no clean exit. So he’ll signal escalation—loudly—while looking for a way to de-escalate without calling it retreat. That’s the tell. https://t.co/7hPtA4kIKS
