Question
Trump rejects Iran seven-day Hormuz truce as yields hit 2002 highs — QQQ multiples compress on oil inflation
Direct answer
Trump rejected Iran’s seven-day Hormuz reopening truce, crude spiked, and benchmark US yields reached their highest levels since 2002 while the Nasdaq fell 1% Monday. The trade is invalidated by a verified U.S.-Iran reopening deal that normalizes tanker traffic and pulls oil-driven inflation premia lower. — bearish pressure on QQQ.
