The US rejection of Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz has triggered a violent repricing in global energy markets. Brent crude has surged past $108 per barrel, while US diesel prices have spiked to record levels near $6.50 per gallon. This supply shock is directly driving inflation fears, pushing 30-year Treasury yields to 5.535% and forcing the market to price in a 65% probability of an October Fed rate hike. The event marks a critical escalation in geopolitical risk, transforming oil from a cyclical commodity into a primary macro risk factor. Draganfly has secured a $10 million strategic investment from Unusual Machines and a US investment fund to expand domestic drone manufacturing and defense capabilities. This capital injection comes amidst escalating kinetic conflict in Eastern Europe, where Russian drone attacks continue to target Ukrainian infrastructure. The deal signals a clear rotation of capital toward defense-industrial base companies capable of scaling production in response to geopolitical tensions.
