๐ Oil Spikes Again Amid Middle East Tensions โ Market Risks Rising
๐ Market Insight
US inflation came in line with expectations (headline 2.4% y/y, core 2.5% y/y), but it didnโt stop oil prices from surging.
IEA emergency release: 400 million barrels released to ease supply worries, but markets see it as a temporary reprieve.
Middle East war continues: Three more vessels were attacked in the Gulf, keeping supply disruption fears high.
Oil prices:
WTI > $94/bbl (+6% intraday)
Brent ~$97/bbl (+7% intraday)
๐ Macro & Market Impacts
Central bank expectations: Rising oil prices push US 2-year yield to 3.70%, ECB 10-year yield near 2.95-year highs.
USD strength: Gains vs. most majors; oil currencies like AUD & CAD outperform, while JPY & EUR lag.
Risk assets: US energy stocks +2.5%, S&P 500 flat; tech gains mitigate broader market stress.
Geopolitical & energy risks are likely to keep markets volatile, limiting upside for equities.
