No written analysis for this week

Everything on this page is measured from the week’s own boards and editions. The written read is added when the engine runs its report pass; a week without one still has its record.

What we said to watch

27 Jul Whether the US-Iran pause holds or the strikes resume, which would send oil and the wider tension straight back up.

The beat ended the week On edge.

28 Jul Whether the US-Iran talks turn a three-night pause into a real ceasefire, or the fighting resumes.

The beat ended the week On edge.

29 Jul Whether ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz climbs back toward its pre-war level - the clearest sign the fragile reopening deal is holding.

The beat ended the week On edge.

30 Jul Whether the stalled Hormuz diplomacy revives or the Gulf war widens, and whether US-Canada tariff talks yield a deal or another round of duties.

The beat ended the week On edge.

31 Jul Whether the missile inside Poland and the claimed Gaza disarmament deal settle as an accident and a breakthrough, or slide into wider escalation.

The beat ended the week On edge.

1 Aug Whether the Senate secondary-tariff bill survives its own cost to buyers at home, and whether the Gulf pause holds against renewed threats of more strikes.

The beat ended the week On edge.

2 Aug Whether the US-Iran deal promised in place of a strike is actually signed, or the threat simply returns.

The beat ended the week On edge.

The honest half. These are the markers the boards named at the time — kept on the record whether or not they turned out to matter.

The board on Monday, and the board at the end

Opened

27 Jul
  • Ukraine-Russia war 82
  • Trade conflict 78
  • Humanitarian strain 71
  • Gulf conflict 68
  • Bloc cohesion 64
  • Energy costs 44

Ended

2 Aug
  • Gulf war risk 80
  • Ukraine-Russia grind 72
  • Trade-war escalation 62
  • Europe migration strain 58
  • Alliance realignment 55
  • De-escalation attempts 37

Both boards exactly as they were written at the time — not a diff. The engine names the forces fresh every morning, so "The cheap-yen gap" on Monday and "Money leaving the dollar" on Friday may well be the same pressure under different words. Comparing the labels would measure the labels; comparing the two boards yourself is the honest version.
