Wall Street Clings to Hope

Oil is back near $100 a barrel as the conflict around Iran is widening. The Strait of Hormuz remains badly disrupted. And the market's old faith that every shock will somehow resolve itself by Monday morning is starting to fray. Yet stocks are set to open higher, at least for now, even if the reason is not especially convincing: investors may be taking some comfort from inflation data that came in as expected, or simply buying after a bruising selloff, despite the same ugly backdrop of expensive energy, fragile supply chains, uncertain geopolitics, and a Federal Reserve that is still being asked to fight inflation without crushing a softening economy.

The longer it goes on, the worse it gets

I do not know whether Friday the 13th is bad luck for the market, but the one we have on our hands today is getting under way in a rather stormy environment. At this stage, US efforts to offset the impact of the war launched against Iran on energy prices are not working. Overnight, the White House went so far as to ease the embargo on Russian oil, which rather neatly illustrates the current state of political stress over the surge in crude prices.

Beware the Red Flags

The stock market continues to be weirdly serene at the worst possible moments. Oil, by contrast, is flashing a warning that stocks still seem reluctant to read. Since the Middle East conflict escalated, equities have slipped, but not by much. In the United States, the S&P 500 is down only about 2% over the past 10 days. Europe has done worse, with the Stoxx 600 off roughly 5%, but even that is modest by the standards of a real geopolitical shock - especially when both markets were hovering near record highs. Investors, in other words, still appear to be pricing in a short war and a fairly quick return to normal.

One market, two stories

Since the start of the conflict in the Middle East, equities have posted only limited declines. That reaction suggests investors are still betting on a short-lived conflict. Oil, meanwhile, is telling us a rather different story.

The Market Is Looking Suspiciously Calm

To look at the indices this morning, you would think everything was under control. Most are sitting close to flat, and Wall Street futures were hovering near zero early in the day. The market's biggest question right now is whether investors are still underestimating how quickly this instability can spread through the economy. That is the backdrop for today's session, and likely for the coming week too.

Oracle, the IEA, and off we go again?

Equity markets remain relatively resilient in the face of the fears stirred up by the war in Iran. Overnight, investors were handed a double boost from technology giant Oracle and the International Energy Agency, in rather different registers.

A Bounce Built on Belief

The most revealing thing about the latest oil shock is not that prices spiked. It is how badly everyone wanted to believe they would come right back down. On Monday, Brent crude whipsawed from roughly $83 to nearly $119 before settling below $90. By Tuesday morning, the market had latched onto President Donald Trump's insistence that the war involving Iran was already nearing its end, well ahead of the four-to-five-week timeline he had previously floated.

The Weight of Words

Donald Trump has spoken, and the world has listened. The President of the United States seized back control of the narrative yesterday in an attempt to extinguish the oil market fire, with a degree of success. Wall Street rebounded, against expectations, as the explosive surge in crude prices began to subside. These violent swings in both directions are a hallmark of the current nervous mood.

Investors Confront Stagflation Risk

The week ahead looks like the kind investors dread. Washington will be watching inflation data on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve looms next week, and Friday brings another look at PCE inflation and fourth-quarter GDP. Under normal circumstances, that would be plenty, but these are not normal circumstances. Oil has ripped higher, the Middle East conflict has entered its tenth day, and prices may rise just as growth begins to wobble.

10 days of conflict, 80% increase in oil prices

When the day begins with a chart flashing wildly with +21.5% next to Brent crude, the topic of the day quickly becomes obvious. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is fuelling fears of an oil shortage and painfully reminding us that our economies remain far from decarbonised: heating, mobility, digital infrastructure, plastics, fertilisers, metals, almost everything ultimately relies on the gas and oil combination.

Oil Shock Meets Job Shock

Stock futures fell Friday morning after the release of the U.S. jobs report, as investors tried to digest two forces that rarely arrive politely or predictably: war and economic data. On one side sits the escalating conflict in the Middle East, now nearing a week without any clear end, and pushing oil futures past $90 a barrel today. On the other sits the U.S. labor market, which delivered a report that diverged sharply from expectations.
