The AI's read

Iran's security chief warned oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf would stop if U.S. economic pressure continues. That threat raises acute supply risk and directly matters for oil ETFs like USO. Price action doesn't show panic. USO is essentially flat and RSI 56.31, so the market hasn't priced a full shutoff yet. We lean BULLISH on USO because the news is fresh, material, and creates asymmetric upside if flows are disrupted. Conviction 84 given geopolitical uncertainty and limited immediate market reaction.
