WS #11507

The dominant signal in this window is a major escalation in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, with Ukraine striking multiple Russian oil refineries and Baltic ports, corroborated by Reuters, Kyiv Post, and NPR. This is a significant escalation that could disrupt Russian oil supply and impact global energy markets. Separately, OPEC+ has agreed to increase production by 188k bpd from August, which partially offsets the supply disruption risk. In financial markets, Morgan Stanley flags a rotation from chips to hyperscalers, and Foxconn reports record Q2 revenue but cautions on geopolitics. The narrative arc is ESCALATING on the Ukraine-Russia front, with no de-escalation signals.
