Republican senators are expressing skepticism about President Trump's potential request for funding the Iran war, citing a lack of a clear plan to end the conflict. They warn that additional funding may not pass unless Trump seeks formal authorization. Some GOP senators have voted with Democrats to limit Trump's war-making authority, reflecting growing public pressure against the war. The situation is complicated by the ongoing conflict and rising fuel prices, leading to calls for a clearer strategy from the administration. Senators emphasize the need for answers before approving further funding.

GOP senators warn Iran war funding faces uphill climb

Iran has allowed selective passage for specific tankers, including two Iraqi supertankers, through the Strait of Hormuz due to bilateral agreements. Meanwhile, the U.S. has expanded its 'Economic Fury' campaign, imposing sanctions on IRGC-linked oil networks and freezing $344 million in cryptocurrency associated with Iran's central bank. This situation is contributing to a rapid decline in global oil inventories, exacerbated by Middle Eastern output cuts and ongoing tensions in Hormuz, leading to increased price volatility in the energy market.

Iran allows selective tanker passage through Hormuz amid sanctions push

Oil prices surged due to the Iran conflict disrupting Persian Gulf shipments, leading to increased global energy costs. The April CPI rose 3.8% year-over-year, with energy contributing over 40% to the monthly increase. Consequently, market expectations have shifted, with no anticipated rate cuts in 2026 and a possibility of rate hikes if inflation persists.

Hot inflation and Iran standoff rattle markets, lift oil

The IEA warns that the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz has caused a significant supply shock in global energy markets, predicting a contraction in global oil demand by 420,000 barrels a day this year. Recovery of oil supply will be slow due to infrastructure damage and logistical issues, with a deficit expected until the final quarter of the year. The agency also notes that OPEC+ production has dropped to its lowest in over 35 years, while Brent crude prices remain high amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.

Iran warns of 90% uranium enrichment after UAE strike report

Global markets are experiencing a downturn as hopes for a U.S.-Iran ceasefire fade, with Trump stating it is "on life support" after Iran rejected a proposal, causing oil prices to surge. Additionally, U.S. inflation reached a three-year high of 3.8% year-over-year in April, primarily due to rising energy costs. This has led to a decline in global equities as concerns grow over sustained inflation and tighter monetary policies.
