The Middle East tensions have escalated with the U.S. and Iran engaging in military strikes, pushing oil prices past $100 a barrel and causing global panic. The Strait of Hormuz gridlock has intensified, with reports of U.S. tanker strikes and Iranian missile retaliation. This has led to a bullish trend in the energy sector, with companies like XOM and CVX benefiting, while airlines and shipping sectors face bearish pressure. The geopolitical situation remains volatile, with no signs of an imminent ceasefire, and the market is closely watching for any developments that could affect the global supply chain and energy prices.
