BITCOIN $71,723 | GOLD $4,785

1. Ceasefire rally sweeps Asia, dollar breaks
-- Reuters: stocks surging, oil below $100, dollar knocked back as two-week truce fuels hopes Hormuz shipping resumes.
-- BTC $71,723 holding gains; gold $4,785 rebounding as relief reprices five weeks of war premium across all asset classes.

2. Violations hours after signing test deal durability
-- Iranian cluster munitions struck central Israel despite truce; both sides accuse each other of breaches.
-- Market ignoring violations for now; Trump ending operations by June 30 at 61%, but two-week window is fragile with oil $96.32.

3. Structural war damage persists beyond ceasefire
-- Fourteen-firm credit defaults (Goldman to Blue Owl), fractured repo market ($26B emergency draws), and zero rate cuts through H2 2027 all carry into Q2.
-- BlackRock April note still prices permanent energy disruption using tanker-tracking data; war ending does not unwind $200B Pentagon supplemental or 4.5% yields.

4. PCE Thursday, first wartime inflation read
-- Fed's preferred gauge arrives capturing $100+ oil and tariff passthrough; Wells Fargo killed all 2026 cut expectations.
-- Hot print cements rate freeze; BTC $71,723 needs structural demand (Schwab $12T launch, DOL 401(k) $7.7T) not monetary easing for next leg.
