Israel-Iran Attack Report, Trump Jr. Speaks at QEF
Oil jumped following a CNN report that new US intelligence suggests Israel is preparing for a potential strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. Brent crude rose above $66 a barrel while West Texas Intermediate surged as much as 3.5% before paring gains. It wasn't clear that Israeli leaders have made a final decision on whether to carry out the strikes, CNN said, citing unidentified officials. Oil has been volatile since last week on mixed headlines about the fate of Iran-US nuclear talks, which could pave the way for more barrels to return to a market that's expected to be oversupplied later in the year. An attack by Israel would hinder any progress in those negotiations and add to unrest in the Middle East, which supplies about a third of the world's crude.
