Thursday’s session delivered the week’s defining moment in a single hour. Iranian missile and drone strikes on Kuwait and a US air base drove WTI back toward $91 and sent the dollar surging — then an Axios report confirmed Washington and Tehran had tentatively agreed to a 60-day ceasefire extension pending Trump’s approval. Oil reversed. The dollar collapsed. Equities ripped to fresh record highs. The speed of that reversal set the tone for everything the coming week will be measured against. The weekend added a secondary geopolitical complication. Israel launched its broadest ground incursion into Lebanon in 25 years, crossing…
