“Over the weekend, we saw the breakdown of the Strait of Hormuz opening deal and the ramp-up of President Donald Trump 's willingness to go back to bombing mode.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results mention Trump's statements regarding the Strait of Hormuz reopening and Iran, but they do not corroborate the specific sequence of events described in the claim (breakdown of a deal *and* ramp-up of bombing mode) from multiple independent sources. The evidence is drawn from reports about his statements, but not a consensus report on the full narrative presented.

“There are real targets involving the infrastructure in Iran that Trump has been reluctant to hit but might feel that he has to press on with to bankrupt Iran, perhaps to cause food riots, which have always preceded regime change.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence contains multiple web search results detailing potential US actions against Iran and negotiations involving Trump. However, the specific claim—that Trump *may* target infrastructure to bankrupt Iran and *cause* food riots leading to regime change—is a synthesis of speculative geopolitical analysis found across the search results, and no single source confirms this entire sequence of intent and outcome.

“It's been a tremendous predictor in that it has been stable with yields varying only slightly to the downside.”
SINGLE SOURCE

SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results provide general information on technical indicators like the S&P Short-Range Oscillator (SRO) and what 'overbought' means generally. However, none of the evidence provides the specific reading of 'a positive 7.89%' for the S&P Short Range Oscillator, making the claim unverified by the provided evidence.

“For me, a stable bond market means that except for companies directly impacted by oil — the airlines and their derivatives, including Club name Boeing and GE Aerospace , as well as travel and leisure, like Marriott and Disney — you can actually focus on the earnings that are at hand.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results suggest that watching bonds is advisable over stocks due to emotion, but they do not contain the specific analysis linking a stable bond market to the ability to focus on earnings while explicitly naming the excluded sectors (airlines, travel/leisure) or the specific companies (Boeing, Marriott, Disney).
