The Barrel is Boiling: WTI Crude settled near $86.75 and Brent Crude spiked to $92.82 following geopolitical escalations in the Strait of Hormuz and warnings of an "economic war" against Iran. The Defensive Retreat: Why institutional capital is starting to shift out of the "AI-at-any-price" trade and rotate into defensive, dividend-paying exchange-traded funds (ETFs) like SCHD .
