Holding: newest synthesis is 92d 11h old
No material new developments in the last 30 minutes. The Strait of Hormuz crisis narrative remains unchanged with no new data points, and no counter-signals or de-escalation have emerged. All other themes (US jobs data, Apple-Alibaba AI partnership, SpaceX earnings) are unchanged from the previous synthesis.
