Oil surged 5.40% to $82 this week on geopolitical supply fears, but does that mean capital is really fleeing fiat for hard assets? We stress-test the "Paper Exodus" thesis against the full tape.

On Wall Street, the S&P 500 drifted 0.22% to 7,805 and the Nasdaq 0.15% to 30,142 as tech momentum stalled. Gold edged up 0.91% to $4,380, still under a longer-term Death Cross, and the 10-Year yield fell to 4.63%, a sign investors bought Treasuries, not sold them. The DXY drifted to 99.67 but holds a bullish long-term structure, setting up a real test at next week's FOMC Minutes: does a hawkish Fed tone send the dollar back above its 50-day at 100.55, or does the exodus thesis hold?
