AI Summary
The US escalated its Iran campaign with B-1 bomber strikes, a $73bn war funding boost and a 12th consecutive night of attacks, while a tanker fire in the Strait of Hormuz and Houthi blockades of Saudi ports kept crude at a six-week high, pressuring inflation expectations and supporting gold, where Paulson called the rally early-stage. Risk appetite in Asia held up regardless, with the Kospi jumping 3% and the Nikkei rising as Google's AI capex boost lifted chip stocks, while Australia's biggest job gain in a year sent AUD/USD sharply higher and kept an RBA August hike marginally in play. Watch Hormuz shipping disruptions and further US force deployments as the key trigger for another leg higher in oil and a broader risk-off repricing.
As a Market signal, watch whether it changes price action, volatility, or flows around CL=F, GC=F, KOSPI.

Ram Ahluwalia notes Micron shares jumped 18% in premarket trading after a blowout earnings report showing a 700% revenue surge driven by Nvidia-led DRAM demand, lifting the Nasdaq 2%.
