    US Central Command conducts ninth straight night of strikes on Iran to degrade attacks on shipping

    Question

    US Central Command conducts ninth straight night of strikes on Iran to degrade attacks on shipping

    Direct answer

    Persistent US strikes sustain the geopolitical risk premium in crude, keeping Brent above $90/bbl and WTI above $84/bbl, and contribute to higher inflation expectations that support the US dollar index (DXY) and weigh on long-dated US Treasuries.[1][2][3][5][10]
