Gulf states were preparing to meet Iran via Oman. [1] This paper printed oil around 108 ahead of those talks. A table is not a corridor. A planned ministerial is not a signed paper. Print the table. Do not print a deal. No Salalah delay belongs on this clock.

The FT filed traders losing hope for a quick Hormuz fix before the meeting. [1] Low optimism is not a cancelled table. Monday can postpone. Friday cannot. Print preparing. Leave a postponement to the edition that owns a postponement.

Friday recap that pretends Salalah already slipped is a feed, not the FT. Print the table. Print not a corridor.

Friday is not Monday's delay.
The table remains Friday's only named table.
