The AI's read

Iran is reportedly weighing military escalation while the US prepares fresh sanctions. Brent near $92.90 and WTI around $86.50 after a >32% run since July. That raw supply risk would be bullish if attacks hit shipping or infrastructure. But momentum indicators show strain, ADX fell to 22.34 and a rising wedge suggests rally fatigue. Price already carries a large risk premium and weak Chinese demand caps upside. We lean neutral until we see actual supply disruption or a clear demand pickup.
