Ideas

Watch Iranian crude supply exhaustion.
US sanctions are an economic isolation campaign against Iran; the key yardstick is the roughly 30 million barrels of Iranian crude still waiting to be bought, especially by China. Once that is exhausted, there may be no more Iranian crude for Chinese buyers, so Iranian crude flows are worth monitoring as an indicator of tightening supply.

Ukraine strikes tighten Russian diesel supply.
Ukrainian deep strikes on Russian refineries and warehouses are bringing the war home and creating fuel shortages across Russia, reflected by Moscow banning diesel imports; the disruption points to tighter Russian diesel supply.
UCO MED

Tariffs keep US aluminum prices elevated.
Canada's retaliatory tariffs are mostly macro noise, but the 50% tariff on aluminum is a real exception: American buyers now pay far more for aluminum than anywhere else, the price has risen sharply over the past year, and as an industrial input it will keep driving up US goods prices over time.

Interceptor rebuild boosts RTX and Lockheed.
Depleted US interceptor inventories—Patriot PAC-3, SM-3 and SM-6—are forcing the Pentagon to rebuild quickly. RTX and Lockheed Martin are seeing demand triple/quadruple, and L3Harris and Honeywell supply propulsion and other components; rebuilding the 400-supplier interceptor chain toward roughly 2,000 PAC-3 units by 2030 supports a multi-year defense production boom.

Tariffs threaten Ford and auto suppliers.
The US-Canada tariff fight directly threatens integrated North American auto manufacturing. Ford is being put on the line, and Canadian suppliers like Magna are critical to metro Detroit, so tariffs create cost, investment and job uncertainty and make automakers and suppliers vulnerable.
