The US-Iran conflict continues to escalate, with BBC Verify reporting that Iran has damaged 20 US military sites since the start of the war, corroborated by Guardian and Al Jazeera reports of ongoing strikes and retaliations. Oil prices are climbing on uncertainty over a US-Iran deal, per Bloomberg. This is a bearish development for equities exposed to oil costs and a bullish signal for energy stocks. Separately, Nvidia's Computex 2026 announcements are generating high signal: the company announced its largest-ever supercomputing system for agentic AI, a humanoid robot reference design with Unitree and Sharpa, and partnerships with Uber/Autobrains for a robotaxi program in Munich. HP also debuted PCs powered by Nvidia RTX Spark. The Nvidia narrative remains ESCALATING. XRP dropped to a 15-week low of $1.32, a bearish signal for crypto. Asian markets advanced on tech gains despite geopolitical headwinds, per Seeking Alpha.
