Escalation Resumes as U.S. and Iran Exchange Strikes Threatening End to Truce

U.S. forces conducted about 90 airstrikes on Iranian targets after President Trump signaled the ceasefire was over following Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz; Iran retaliated against U.S. allies in the region, triggering attacks and casualties (Iran reported at least 14 killed and 78 wounded). A strike near the Bushehr nuclear plant was reported, and talks aimed at a final peace deal remain paused as both sides accuse the other of violations while Iran's leadership funeral for Ayatollah Khamenei unfolds, casting doubt on the interim 60‑day negotiating period.

Markets edge lower as U.S.-Iran strikes spark risk ahead of CPI data

U.S. stock futures slipped after U.S. launched self-defense strikes against Iran, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures down about 0.3% and Dow futures off around 161 points; oil rose about 1% to near $89 as tensions escalated. In regular trading, the Dow edged up about 0.17% while chip stocks dragged, and investors await May CPI data due Wednesday (consensus 4.2% y/y, 0.5% m/m), a signpost for inflation amid ongoing geopolitical risk and AI-led market moves.

Oil Jump Triggers Market Selloff as Middle East Tensions Rise

U.S. stocks ended their nine-session winning streak as oil climbed on renewed Middle East tensions after Iran missiles hit Kuwait and Bahrain and the U.S. struck Iran’s Qeshm Island; the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, and Russell 2000 fell while energy led gains and tech lagged, with ADP private payrolls showing stronger hiring that could keep the Fed hawkish. Bitcoin traded around $63,700 as crypto markets slid, while some names advanced on AI or other headlines (e.g., GameStop’s buyback, Meta’s AI subscription) and others retreated after capital-market news, including big declines for private-credit peers after withdrawal caps and PVH cutting revenue outlook amid geopolitical headwinds.

Oil climbs and markets wobble as U.S.-Iran tensions spike

Global equities fell as fresh U.S. strikes on Iran raised Middle East tensions, sending oil prices higher (WTI ~$90.65, Brent ~$96) and weighing on Asia-Pacific and European stock indices. Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and the pan-European Stoxx 600 moved lower, while China showed mixed moves. Notable movers included Chinese EV maker Nio and LG Energy Solution in Korea, which gained on launches and new deals. Investors also watched Fed officials signal inflation as the top priority ahead of a key PCE price index release.

Iran escalates UAE-focused war rhetoric as US-Israel ties grow

Iran has intensified war messaging against the UAE, labeling it a hostile base due to its growing ties with the US and Israel and warning of a crushing response to any renewed attacks. State-linked outlets and IRGC voices frame UAE ports and the Strait of Hormuz region as under Iran’s maritime influence, while the UAE condemns attacks and tightens measures on Iranians and Iranian businesses as it maintains security cooperation with the US and Israel (including Iron Dome deployments). The broader backdrop includes the Abraham Accords and Gulf security dynamics amid US naval pressure on Iran’s ports.

U.S. employers added 115,000 jobs in April and the unemployment rate held at 4.3%, a surprise gain led by healthcare, transportation/warehousing, retail and social assistance, with losses in federal government and information sectors. March was revised up to +185,000 and February down to -156,000. ADP private payrolls rose 109,000, the largest gain since January 2025. The data comes as the Fed keeps rates steady amid ongoing Middle East conflict and higher oil prices, fueling uncertainty about policy direction.

Oil Rebounds as Middle East Tensions Loom Over Market Hopes

Oil prices regained footing in Asia after Monday’s slide as traders weighed ongoing Middle East risks against signals of potential de-escalation. Brent May prices rose over 3% to about $103 a barrel and WTI May climbed around 3.6% to about $91, helped by Trump’s claim of a five‑day pause on strikes against Iran, though Tehran denied weekend talks, leaving a risk premium and supply‑disruption concerns intact, with the Strait of Hormuz still a key chokepoint for global oil.
