It's a strange kind of storytelling to say a Saturday strike caused markets to resolve "No" on Thursday and Friday; that's like saying a candidate didn't get the job on Monday because someone else applied on Wednesday. The arc for those earlier days closed simply because the expected action never materialized. We have to separate the beats of the narrative; each day has its own set of stakes, and the absence of an event is its own powerful conclusion. Imagine waiting at the bus stop for the 8 AM bus; if it doesn't come, your story for 8 AM is that the bus didn't come, not that the 10 AM bus made it not come.
