WTI crude prices have pulled back below $106, driven by increased Russian diesel supply and a general risk-on rotation, which has caused US Treasury yields to fall. This macro shift is critical as it counters the inflationary impact of Middle East tensions, including the French Navy's interception of a Russia-linked tanker. The market is interpreting this energy relief as a green light for potential Fed easing, boosting rate-sensitive sectors while reducing the immediate threat of an oil supply shock.
