“The latest escalation followed another US strike on Iranian targets and Tehran’s announcement of a temporary Strait of Hormuz closure, although US officials disputed the claim. Rising crude oil prices fueled concerns that inflationary pressures could persist, reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates once more this year. Investors are now focused on upcoming US inflation data and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s congressional testimony, both expected to provide fresh signals on the future direction of US monetary policy later in the day,” said Pinky Yadav, Commodity Fundamental Analyst at Choice Broking.
