"Geopolitical Airstrikes Propel Oil Prices to Soaring Heights"

The oil price surged by 4% following US and UK strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, leading to concerns about global trade disruption and geopolitical tensions in the Red Sea region. Stocks rose in response to U.S. inflation data suggesting potential interest rate cuts, while global stocks rallied and government bond yields edged lower. The dollar and gold rose as safe-haven assets, and the Nikkei in Japan reached a 34-year high. Meanwhile, Chinese inflation data indicated a weak economic recovery, and U.S. Fed officials remained cautious about the path of inflation.
