US Steel and Nippon Steel said that they had entered into a national security agreement with US government, which would provide $11bn of investment by 2028.

Around a fifth of global oil supplies flow through this narrow channel and an escalation could disrupt distribution." "Israel has already been targeting Iran's energy facilities, including Iran's South Pars gas field," Streeter said. "Although gas prices have also edged up slightly, the biggest moves have been seen with crude prices, which are up around 12% since hostilities erupted and could head higher if the Strait is targeted." The biggest riser on the FTSE 100 on Monday morning was sports betting company Entain (ENT.L), which jumped 11% after it raised the annual guidance for its BetMGM business.

'The momentum seen in the first three months of the year has continued into the second quarter and, from just about inching into profitability, Entain now sees a meaningful profit coming from the venture. The upgraded guidance lends credibility to its longer-term ambitions for earnings from the venture, too."

Oil Shippers Pause Offers to Middle East as Conflict Intensifies

Some oil tanker owners and managers have paused offering their vessels for Middle Eastern routes since Friday as they assess the risks from Israel's conflict with Iran, fueling concerns over export flows from the region. Producers and traders trying to book ships to load crude oil and fuel from the Persian Gulf have been met with few offers, said shipbrokers and charterers, who asked not to be identified as they're not authorized to speak publicly. Meanwhile, some owners with tankers that had been provisionally chartered as of Friday, pending confirmation of the booking, have chosen not to extend the agreements into the weekend, one of them said.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures rise, oil slips with Israel-Iran strikes in focus

US stock futures climbed on Monday, eyeing a potential rebound as the shockwaves of the Israel-Iran conflict started to recede despite an exchange of missile strikes throughout the weekend. Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) and the S&P 500 (ES=F) both rose aroung 0.4%, while contracts tied to the Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) gained 0.5%. The cautious optimism follows a bruising Friday session that saw the Dow plunge more than 700 points in a broad risk-off move. Meanwhile, oil (CL=F) prices edged lower after jumping in the wake of the weekend attacks, having surged last week to their highest levels since January. The geopolitical flare-up comes at a delicate moment for markets already buffeted by tariff insecurity. Friday's selloff dragged the major US indexes into negative territory for the week. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs Now investors are regaining some appetite for risk amid rising optimism that the conflict won't spill over into a broader regional crisis. President Trump said on Sunday there's a "good chance" of an Israel-Iran peace deal, but the hostilities may need to play out first. 'Sometimes they have to fight it out, but we're going to see what happens,' he told reporters. A measure of calm is also returning to the oil market, rattled by fears of disruption to the global energy supply. Tehran has hinted it may close the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for roughly one-fifth of the world's oil. Crude oil jumped out of the gate on Sunday evening after the dramatic weekend of retaliatory strikes targeting energy infrastructure on both sides. West Texas Intermediate (CL=F) futures spiking over 6% to top $76 a barrel, while Brent crude (BZ=F) saw a similar move to just below $78 a barrel. But futures turned lower on Monday, down almost 1% to take Brent below $74 a barrel and WTI around $72 a barrel. Gold (GC=F) prices also pulled back, having rallied alongside oil as it drew safe-haven flows amid rising volatility. The precious metal traded lower at around $3,435 an ounce. Looking ahead, investors will be parsing fresh data on Monday from the New York Fed's Empire State Manufacturing Survey for signs of economic resilience, or weakness, ahead of Wednesday's interest rate decision from the Federal Reserve. Markets overwhelmingly expect the Fed to hold rates steady. However, climbing oil prices could complicate the Fed's path forward on inflation. While President Trump has maintained pressure on Chair Jerome Powell to cut rates, current market dynamics may leave little room to budge. Greetings from Cannes Lions, where I am stationed for the week talking with top advertising execs, sports stars and CEOs. Tough assignment! I have found this event to be very useful each year in helping to understand the economy into year end. You would be surprised how forward-looking market spend trends are at the world's biggest companies. To that end, I just got off set with Disney's (DIS) president of global advertising Rita Ferro — one of the top names in the marketing industry. I asked her if a slowing US economy and general macro volatility were beginning to chip away at ad budgets. She wasn't super bullish about ad spending — more cautiously optimistic. Businesses are buying ads once they see they need them, rather than making large commitments on ad spend early, she suggested. "I think people are being very intentional where they spend money," Ferro tells me. "I would say they're [the data points she watches] not recessionary. We see much closer in buying." Gold prices rose as the conflict erupting between Israel and Iran pushed investors toward safe-haven assets in a broader risk-off move. Bloomberg reports: Read more here. Oil continues to gain as Israel and Iran enter the fourth consecutive day of missile strikes between the warring nations. Iran is the third largest oil producer in OPEC+ and controls the Strait of Hormuz, an essential supply route for oil worldwide. Bloomberg reports: Read more here.
