<h2><strong>Insights From Analysts</strong></h2>



<p>Michelle Gibley, director of international equity research and strategy at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, warned that despite the last-minute extension of the Iran ceasefire, crude oil prices will take time to normalize.</p>



<p>&#34;Physical delivery of oil and gas is constrained and isn't reflected in energy futures prices,&#34; Gibley said.</p>



<p>These issues reverberate around the world in terms of monetary policy as several major central banks, including the Federal Reserve, prepare to make rate decisions next week, Gibley added.</p>



<p>&#34;Most global central banks are on hold for now, waiting for more clarity on the duration of energy supply disruptions and higher energy prices.&#34;</p>

<li>On Thursday, the weekly Initial Jobless Claims report will be released at 8:30 a.m. ET.</li>
