WS #6696
The dominant signal in this window is the escalation of the Iran-US conflict, with multiple sources reporting a drone attack on a US military base in Erbil, an explosion in Tehran, and a US attack on an Iranian tanker. This contradicts the prevailing ceasefire optimism and suggests the conflict is intensifying, which could reverse the recent equity rally and push oil prices higher. Separately, Russian drones crashed into a Latvian oil depot, raising NATO-Russia tensions. On the corporate side, Magnolia Oil & Gas missed estimates significantly, while Torex Gold beat. The onsemi convertible note offering is a notable capital markets event. The Iran peace deal narrative is now being challenged by fresh military actions, making this a high-significance escalation.
