The Big Story
Iran sanctions and Hormuz disruption kept oil shock risk dominant.
- Brent crude settled at $111.26, up 2.8%, as Hormuz disruption outweighed UAE’s OPEC exit.
- U.S. gasoline inventories fell 8.47 million barrels while crude stocks dropped 1.79 million barrels.
- The Treasury sanctioned 35 Iranian entities and warned Hormuz toll payments risk severe penalties.
- More than 20 vessels remained at Chah Bahar as U.S. forces blocked Iranian trade flows.
- Late buy imbalances were positive across the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow 30 and Mag 7.
