If you are bull, long day ahead.

Brent at $99.

Here’s why:

Iran closed Hormuz → Saudi rerouted oil through Red Sea

Houthis attacked Saudi tankers + Yanbu refinery → Red Sea now threatened too.

Both the world’s major oil chokepoints under attack. Simultaneously.

This is what $2 gas looks like, Trump.

Canada just hit US steel with 50% tariffs.
This is the same Canada that:
Supplies 60% of all US crude imports.
Shares a 9,000km border with no walls.
Has a $900 billion annual trade relationship with the US.
Trump tariffed his largest trading partner, closest ally, and biggest energy supplier simultaneously.
Canada is now redirecting oil to China.
Retaliating on steel.

This is what “winning” looks like.

9,000–18,000 dead. Oil at $100. Gas at $4. Inflation ripping. Food crisis coming.
And today he says oil will drop to $2 “once the US wins.”

Sir, you’ve already won Countless times.

⛽ What it did to oil
∙In just the first week after bombing Iran, US gas prices jumped 48 cents per gallon
∙Brent crude hit above $100/barrel up 44% from before the war
∙Goldman Sachs warned it could peak at $140–160 in a worse scenario

[Cold Logic @ColdLogicHQ]

🌾 Food crisis incoming
∙Fertiliser shortage will hit food prices on a 6–9 month lag peaking right when Pakistan, Egypt and Kenya face $5.1 billion in debt maturities
∙Goldman estimates food prices up 1.5% from fertilizer alone

[Cold Logic @ColdLogicHQ]

💀 Human lives lost
∙Total dead across all sides: 9,000–18,000+
∙Iranian civilians killed: 1,700–3,600 including 254+ children
∙Lebanese civilians: 4,300+ dead
∙US soldiers: 20 killed
∙43 countries suffered casualties

Trump’s Iran War “Victory” Timeline:

▸ Mar 11 — “We won. In the first hour it was over”

▸ Mar 24 — “They’re totally defeated”

▸ Mar 25 — Declares Iran war won. Deploys MORE troops

▸ Apr 1 — “We’re on track to complete military objectives” (war still going)

▸ Apr 7 — Suspends bombing for ceasefire talks. Claims “total and complete victory. 100%”

▸ Jun 15 — Announces deal. Claims victory again on his birthday

▸ Sep 8 — Says oil will drop to $2 once US “wins the war with Iran”

Man declared victory Countless times in a war that apparently hasn’t been won yet.

This is not leadership.

This is a man who doesn’t know the difference between winning and coping.

Power Grid just named GVT&D the lowest bidder for a ₹10,000+ crore HVDC mega-project.

Here’s why this isn’t just “another order” it’s proof of a duopoly.

India’s HVDC (LCC) technology market has exactly 2 real players: Hitachi Energy and GE Vernova T&D.

Siemens Energy only does VSC. That’s it.

No Indian company can build this. No Chinese company is allowed to.

India has earmarked ₹1.8 lakh crore for HVDC transmission alone between 2025-2030, with 1-2 mega orders like this landing every single year for the next 5-6 years.

GVT&D isn’t fighting for market share. It’s one of two companies on Earth’s shortlist for a technology India cannot build itself.

The stock has already returned 3,500%+ in 5 years. Market cap: ₹1.11 lakh crore, priced near 70-100x earnings the market already believes this story.

This order doesn’t create the thesis. It confirms it: this is what real technology moats look like, and it’s exactly the kind of high-stakes, hard-to-replicate innovation Indian conglomerates should be chasing instead of another paint can or copper wire.

57% of reserves sounds like the dollar is dying.
It isn’t.
Central banks can shuffle the vault. They still invoice in dollars, still finance trade in dollars, still buy and sell everything else against the dollar.
Yuan at 2% of reserves is not a takeover. Gold going up is mostly the price, plus a few countries that got sanctioned and got the hint.
China and Russia can leave Treasuries. They can’t replace the market that clears the rest of the world.

IRAN SAYS NEGOTIATIONS WITH OMAN ON HORMUZ REACHED FINAL STAGES.

@Kalshi He already put his face on the coin.
Close enough.

Yesterday: +162,000 jobs. “Tripled expectations.”
Today: June job openings quietly revised down by -177,000.
3rd consecutive monthly downward revision.
Layoffs revised UP by +19,000.
Job openings revised down in 38 of the last 43 months.
The pattern is clear:
Announce strong numbers. Get the headlines.
Revise them down quietly. Get no headlines.
Sound familiar?
India did the same thing with GDP last week.
When data needs constant revision in one direction.
it’s not a data problem.
It’s a credibility problem.

Three Iranian oil tankers struck in the Strait of Hormuz.
20% of global oil supply passes through that strait every day.
Gold is at $4,500.
Brent was at $96 before this.
US SPR has 14 days of supply.
India opens for trading in a few hours.
We import 85% of our oil.
Every escalation in that strait is a tax on every Indian.
Nobody voted for it. Everyone pays for it.

Disruption fights for a slice of today’s market.

Innovation makes tomorrow’s market not need you at all.

Uber didn’t invent anything just an app on top of existing cars, existing drivers.

Cybercab has no steering wheel, no pedals, built from zero for a world with no drivers. Not a better taxi. The end of taxis.

Now ask yourself when was the last time an Indian conglomerate, sitting on this much balance sheet, tried to build something the world had never seen instead of a cheaper version of something that already existed?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
