Holding: newest synthesis is 47d 16h old
No material new developments in the last 30 minutes. The dominant narrative of Middle East energy infrastructure escalation remains unchanged, with no new attacks, de-escalation signals, or counter-signals. The previous synthesis already captured the key events (Abqaiq strike, Houthi attacks, oil price moves, Bab el-Mandeb traffic collapse, Polymarket ceasefire bets, Celestica and Cadence earnings, Apple regaining top market cap). No new data points warrant updating the narrative.
