MIDDLE EAST TENSION SIGNS: OIL PRICES SURGE ABOVE $87/BBL
US oil prices first broke the 87 USD per barrel mark since 24/7, after President Trump announced that an “economic D-Day” is coming for Iran.
This move pushed US Treasury bond yields higher, as investors worry about inflation running out of control.
Impact: Higher oil prices mean higher energy costs, putting pressure on inflation and potentially affecting the Fed’s interest-rate decision. Global stock markets may see strong fluctuations in the upcoming trading session.
Will tensions with Iran drive oil prices to 90 or 100 USD? Investors need to monitor closely.
