Wall Street rebounds as Brent slips 2.1% on hopes for Strait of Hormuz reopening
AI Market Summary
Oil fell on hopes a US-Iran diplomatic path could reopen the Strait of Hormuz, easing supply-disruption and inflation risks that had pushed global bond yields higher. The pullback in crude supported a risk-on tone in equities, with US and several European indices ending higher. However, mixed UN rhetoric and unresolved US-China trade issues keep geopolitical and macro uncertainty elevated in the near term.

US stocks rebounded on Friday, ending a volatile week higher as oil prices fell. Brent crude dropped 2.1% to US$104.32 a barrel and WTI slid 2.3% to US$92.41 as investors bet a possible US-Iran agreement could ease fears of supply disruption at the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier concerns about Houthi strikes on Saudi Red Sea infrastructure and the risk of a strait blockade had lifted inflation expectations and pushed bond yields higher.
