The assassination attempt on Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner remains the dominant geopolitical risk, with the suspect identified as a Caltech graduate and acting AG confirming Trump officials were the likely target. This reinforces elevated uncertainty, particularly for defense and energy sectors. Meanwhile, Ukraine strikes on the Yaroslavl oil refinery have killed at least 16, escalating oil supply disruptions. A UK minister warns price pressures from the Iran war could last eight months after the conflict ends, citing Strait of Hormuz closure. Separately, Iran's foreign minister arrives in Pakistan, and a Polymarket trade on US-Iran ceasefire extension suggests ongoing negotiations. Tesla's Cybercab announcement is a low-significance positive for TSLA.
