Last update: 5 hours agoIran-US Conflict & Energy Markets: U.S.-Israeli strikes hit Iran’s Mahshahr petrochemicals zone, while the Strait of Hormuz stays under pressure as shipping remains below normal; oil is still set for a weekly gain, but diesel has surged to record levels, squeezing transport and farm costs. Sanctions & Iran’s Financial Access: The U.S. imposed fresh sanctions on Turkey’s Golden Global Bank and subsidiaries, accusing them of helping IRGC-linked transfers and oil-revenue flows under “Operation Economic Outcast,” with more pressure on banks and intermediaries expected. Nuclear Diplomacy: The U.S., UK, France and Germany drafted a UN nuclear watchdog resolution that could refer Iran to the Security Council over noncompliance. Domestic Economics & Rates: A strong U.S. jobs report revived Fed-hike expectations, pushing yields higher and weighing on gold and silver, while broader bond-market stress keeps borrowing costs in focus. US Messaging on War: Trump and JD Vance again downplayed the conflict as “not a war,” even as the campaign mixes military threats with tighter economic pressure.
