📉 MARKETS — Qatar rises while neighbors fall. Someone is pricing in a different outcome. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Qatar hosts Doha talks and US Al Udeid base — making it simultaneously indispensable to both sides. While Gulf peers reprice war risk downward, Qatari assets attract flows from investors betting mediator status equals protected status. That calculus could invert instantly if talks collapse and Iran's "no geographic limits" doctrine activates.
