Weekend markets look calm, but the ingredients for a surprise are piling up. The loudest headline is Strait of Hormuz talk, because oil is the economy’s gas tank and WTI closed near $97 while Brent stayed above $100, keeping the inflation worry alive. Meanwhile the fear gauge closed low, which is like everyone leaving their umbrella at home even though the forecast is messy. And Bitcoin is whipping around on Iran-peace chatter plus crash headlines, a reminder that risk can move fast even when stocks are asleep. ⚠️ #NVDA is also back in the spotlight heading into earnings noise, but the bigger story is energy and nerves, not one stock.
