Highlights
Oil futures prices up again as all watch the widening conflict in the Middle East. US strikes against Iran and Iran's counterstrikes against US forces and US allies near the Persian Gulf, with new targets including water purification facilities threaten a wider conflagration. The Houthis threat to blockade Saudi shipping in the Red Sea introduces another wild card, along with President Trump's threat to make Iran suffer for the deaths of US service members.
A quiet day for scheduled US macro news events with the Federal Reserve in its blackout period heading into next week's FOMC meeting.
