Highlights
Markets still transfixed by unfolding disaster in the Middle East. All watch to see whether President Trump will back down or whether he will escalate attacks and even put US boots on the ground in Iran. New question is whether the Houthis will expand the closure of key waterways to include the Red Sea. Mixed signals from the White House leave everyone guessing. Western benchmark oil prices narrowly mixed so far but mostly higher as markets see no immediate off-ramp for Trump.
