Last update: 5 hours agoU.S.-Iran Energy Truce Watch: Oil slid and markets cheered as Washington and Tehran signaled a memorandum of understanding could be finalized within days, with hopes of reopening the Strait of Hormuz easing supply fears—though Iran’s officials also warned timing claims are still “media speculation.” Inflation Pressure From Energy: May inflation jumped to 4.2%, the highest in three years, with energy costs driving most of the increase as the Middle East conflict continues to rattle fuel and power prices. Hormuz Risk Still High: Iran said it would close the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation, a move that would threaten a major share of global oil flows, even as U.S. forces reported downing Iranian drones and said traffic remains open. SPR Drawdown: The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is nearing a historic low as releases continue, raising the stakes for any disruption. Grid & Gas Demand: With gas powering over 40% of U.S. electricity and new AI-driven demand, companies are moving to secure gas rights and supply, while regulators and utilities face mounting pressure over costs.
