Right, let's think about the markets then this morning.
The threat of that blockade by the US against ships in the Strait of Hormuz emerging from Iran means that Brent crude futures have surged, so has WTI.
So currently they're trading...
for Brent at $102, up 7.3%.
WTI up by more than 8.4% today.
Asian stocks declining.
MSCI Asian Pacific Index down 1%.
U.S.
10-year Treasury yields up about three basis points at 4.35%.
amid a global sell-off in bonds.
The dollar is strengthening against most of its G10 peers.
The foreign also on the back of that Hungarian change of leadership now, really dramatic change.
The foreign has surged by 1.9% against the euro.
Gold this morning is down by six-tenths of 1%.
Those are the markets.
