Desk note: Monexus is treating the SpaceX pricing as a capital-cycle signal rather than a corporate-finance story, and reading it alongside the oil move and the BofA fund-manager survey as a single tape rather than three separate items. Where the wires framed each as standalone, this publication connected them.
