Oil - I would be surprised if this weakness lasts. With the Gaza
ground phase started, it's hard to imagine we don't see an
escalation from Hezbollah. I'm not an expert on that region but I
think just Hezbollah would be a best case scenario. Iran probably
chomping at the bit to strike in some way, but they're playing the
social media game for the time being. Their current strategy is
very similar to how Saddam Hussein played the Western Media 20
years ago...almost exactly 20 years now that I think about it (I
had been in Iraq for a couple of months on this day 20 years ago).
*When I say "they" I mean Iran and all of its proxies, including
Hezbollah and Hamas.

I agree. That's why I posted. But we had a fake breakdown on
October 5th also. All it will take is an escalation on any 1 of
many fronts (1 headline basically) The market is betting on a
contained conflict. The market also bet that higher for longer
wouldn't be a thing and inflation would continue its march lower.
Market has been wrong a lot lately.
