Last update: 5 hours agoMiddle East Shock to U.S. Energy Markets: The U.S. began “self-defense” strikes on Iran after an American Apache helicopter was downed near the Strait of Hormuz, with CENTCOM calling it a proportional response; Iran denies targeting the aircraft and says forces near its territory face constant risk. Oil Price Pressure: Markets reacted with oil edging higher as investors priced in supply risk from the Hormuz choke point, even as some hopes for a ceasefire helped stabilize parts of the complex. Shipping Update: A Korean VLCC carrying about 2 million barrels of Kuwaiti crude finally reached waters off Ulsan after leaving the Strait of Hormuz amid the earlier escalation. Permitting & Power Demand Back Home: Maryland lawmakers moved to curb data-center-driven rate pressure, while U.S. policy fights over energy permitting and grid buildout continue to shape how fast new power can reach demand.
