01 THE MACHINE READ
WHY IT MATTERS.
Attacks on Saudi Aramco infrastructure raise supply-disruption fears, but a claimed strike without confirmation may not translate into sustained price moves.
Houthi claims add noise, not confirmed supply loss
CATALYST TO WATCH
Independent confirmation of damage or retaliation
MAIN RISK
Unverified claim fades without market impact
02 THE STORY SO FAR
THE RECORD, IN ORDER.
