Extended read
The U.S. decision to cancel Iran sanctions waivers has immediately tightened global oil supply expectations, sending WTI and Brent higher. This move coincides with a declaration of a ceasefire, creating a complex geopolitical backdrop. The 5% drop in the Nasdaq suggests that equity markets are highly sensitive to energy-driven inflation, which could force the Fed's hand on interest rates even sooner than expected.
