Podcast: Trump blinks on Iran. The trade is in the spreads, not the headline

Published20 AUG 25 - 16:00 Reading time  minutes

 

This is an emergency episode of Trade with Conviction — and the team’s conclusion is clear: crude futures are choppy on headlines, but the physical product market speaks for itself.

Inside this episode:

> Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum – what it means and why Iran denied every part of it

> Price suppression playbook — why $100 may be a ceiling, not a floor

> The recovery math — even if Hormuz opens tonight, we’re looking at June before supply normalises

> The actual trade — time spreads and deferred cracks, not flat price
