AI Market Summary
U.S. airstrikes on Iran and renewed sanctions after vessel attacks in the Strait of Hormuz lifted geopolitical risk premia, pushing Brent and WTI up ~2% on supply-disruption fears. Risk assets weakened alongside higher energy uncertainty: U.S. equities fell broadly, led by tech/chips, while Indian benchmarks slipped with energy, metals and realty under pressure despite IT strength. Near-term focus is on Middle East escalation risk and its spillover to inflation and risk appetite.
