SUGGESTED ACTION
Confidence below 60% due to vague headline lacking specific supply numbers or timeline. Consider waiting for oil price reaction confirmation before trading; if CL=F breaks above recent resistance, energy longs become more attractive. Avoid chasing equities short on headline alone—VIX spike may be overextended. [MOVE:1.2%]
