AI Summary
Iran's Tasnim reported an Iranian tanker was hit by a US missile near Kharg Island, while semi-official Mehr described multiple explosions around the Kharg anchorage on the 8th local time, with no official statement yet on the source, cause, or damage. Kharg handled roughly 90% of Iranian crude exports before the war, so confirmed damage to loading infrastructure or tankers there adds a supply-disruption premium to Brent and WTI, lifts tanker war-risk insurance, and pressures the disinflation path that underpins current rate-cut pricing. Fars also flagged explosions at Jask on the Gulf of Oman, outside the Strait of Hormuz; any sign that traffic through Hormuz itself is impaired would be the escalation trigger to watch, driving gold bid and a risk-off leg in BTC/ETH and equity beta until official damage assessments arrive.
As a Macro signal, watch whether it changes price action, volatility, or flows around CL=F, BZ=F, GC=F.

Ray Dalio argues that among the major forces at play, AI will enhance productivity and lower costs over time but also significantly reduce jobs, making it a huge producer of wealth gaps. He raises the question of how to distribute that wealth and benefits like education, noting that 60% of Americans read below a sixth-grade level and asking how that population can be made productive.
