WTI slipped to $88.48 (-0.23%), giving back overnight gains as Hormuz ceasefire optimism overcame US-strike concerns. Tight range as traders waited for the next Iran headline.

Oil is trading the binary — every Iran news cycle whipsaws the tape. The underlying physical market remains tight (OPEC+ disciplined), but headline risk dominates positioning until resolution.

Any Hormuz deal confirmation pushes to $85; failure or fresh escalation reopens $95. Weekly EIA inventories Wednesday remain in the background. $90 is the headline-driven pivot.

Tesla closed at $442.10 (+0.40%), drifting higher with the broader Nasdaq. SpaceX-merger overhang dominated the news flow; production headlines absent.

TSLA is trading as a SpaceX-merger event rather than a fundamental EV story right now — shareholders are pricing dilution risk versus optionality. Robotaxi narrative is on the bench until next datapoint.

Any official SpaceX-merger terms or Musk commentary. June delivery numbers loom. Resistance $450; support $432. Break of $430 would be the first technical warning.
