BITCOIN $73,290 | GOLD $4,733

1. Equities seal best week in three years
-- S&P 500 on pace for strongest weekly gain since 2023; Dow turned positive for 2026 after $7T Q1 wipeout.
-- Relief rally built on verbal ceasefire with no written document; permanent Iran deal priced at just 35% on Polymarket at BTC $73,290.

2. Rate expectations whiplash unresolved
-- Ceasefire repriced cut odds to 43%; same-week Fed minutes revealed internal openness to hiking on war-driven inflation.
-- Hot March CPI captured $100+ oil and 15% tariffs; Wells Fargo killed all 2026 cut expectations. No monetary tailwind confirmed at BTC $73,290.

3. Fifteen-firm credit crisis outlasts the war
-- Goldman-to-Blue Owl default chain with active borrower failures, fractured repo market, and $200B Pentagon supplemental all persist beyond any truce.
-- Ceasefire does not unwind structural financial damage; Moody's downgraded US credit funds to negative at 4.5% yields.

4. Hormuz functionally closed despite ceasefire
-- Under 10 vessels transiting daily versus 150 pre-war; all ships diverted to Larak Island for Iranian inspection.
-- Oil rebounded $7 from post-truce lows to $99.03; BlackRock April note prices permanent energy disruption using tanker-tracking data.
