BOJ’s Himino: GDP is tracking okayTrump floats lifting sanctions against a new Iranian regimeBolton warns Trump may not have thought past the trigger on IranOPEC+ hiked oil production by 206,000 bpd in Sunday’s meetingTrump: We have hit hundreds of targetsMarkets:WTI crude oil up $3.74 to $5.6%US 10-year yields up 1.7 bps to 3.98%Gold up $80 to $5355S&P 500 futures down 0.7%USD leads, GBP lagsThe whole market was holding its breath as oil futures opened to start the week and the initial price action was explosive with WTI hitting $75.33 and brent rising to $82.37. Those levels didn’t last though as both stayed at the peaks for mere seconds and are now trading $5 from the peaks. Both are still around 5.5% higher though in a significant move that will be closely watched all day.A hint that the opening moves wouldn’t be too crazy came from FX, where the US dollar saw only modest strength. AUD/SUD was particuarly interesting as it gapped down 80 pips at the open but slowly fought back and is now basically flat. That’s been the shape of all price action in risk trades.Fixed income is another example as yields initially fell on the flight to safety trade but we now see them 2-3 bps higher across the curve, perhaps more worried about oil than war. A big part of the early reversals is no doubt profit taking as there was plenty of talk and positioning on a war ahead of time. I think that theme will play out throughout the day but eyes are also on how Iran responds

💡 DMK Insight
Oil prices just spiked, and here’s why that matters: OPEC+ has ramped up production by 206,000 bpd, which could shift supply dynamics significantly. With WTI crude up $3.74 to 5.6%, traders should be eyeing the correlation between oil prices and broader market sentiment. Rising oil prices often lead to increased inflation expectations, which can pressure yields. The US 10-year yield is already up 1.7%, signaling that bond traders are reacting to these inflationary pressures. If oil continues to rise, we might see a cascading effect on equities, particularly in energy stocks, which could benefit from higher prices. But there’s a flip side: if Trump’s comments about lifting sanctions on Iran materialize, it could flood the market with additional supply, potentially reversing the recent gains. Keep an eye on the $80 level for WTI; a break above could trigger further bullish sentiment, while a pullback could indicate a correction. Watch for how these geopolitical tensions play out, as they could create volatility in both the oil and forex markets.
📮 Takeaway
Monitor WTI crude around the $80 level; a breakout could signal further bullish momentum, while geopolitical developments may introduce volatility.
