Secondary Highlights

Key Transmission Paths - Ship attacks in the Strait of Hormuz + attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities → crude oil supply risk premium → oil prices rise - Surging energy prices → U.S. CPI at 3.7% year-on-year exceeding expectations → rate hike expectations rise → risk assets face pressure - Russian refinery attacks + shipping restrictions → global diesel tightening → India's diesel exports hit a one-year high - Major U.S. stock indices fall, with the Nasdaq leading the decline at 1.88% → risk appetite retreats → high-volatility assets sell off

Contradictions / Divergences - The Houthis claimed to have attacked Saudi Aramco facilities and threatened to expand strikes. - Bipartisan senators are demanding the revocation of the Russian diesel agreement. - The U.S. is easing sanctions on Russian diesel while Western allies are strengthening "shadow fleet" enforcement. - China's steady growth in social financing and M2 and corporate loan rates below 3% point to improving demand. - Iran's "countdown" statement and the cause of the fire at Saudi Aramco's headquarters both come from single sources.

Lessons Learned - Energy-driven inflation constrains central bank decisions more strongly than falling core inflation. - The transmission of geopolitical conflict has spread from crude oil to refined products, shipping. - When there is internal disagreement over sanctions policy, price sensitivity to "easing/tightening" news declines.
