An Iran diplomatic off-ramp keeps Brent below $110/bbl in Q3 2026, suppressing the inflation impulse that would otherwise complicate Senate confirmation politics around Kevin Warsh's Fed chairmanship. Contained oil prices and orderly Fed succession reinforce a soft-landing macro scenario.

// Cascade Logic
