Iran is understood to have offered the US a plan to reopen the Street of Hormuz within seven days. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragshi told reporters from multiple news outlets at the UN in New York that Tehran has submitted the proposal via mediators. Our senior editor John Herskovitz says it appears to be a phase deal modeled on the memorandum of understanding in June that later collapsed.
It would involve the US lifting its naval blockade, cessation of hostilities, allowing Iran to export its oil, and perhaps uh repatriation of some of Iran's assets. Iran's foreign minister said that this could lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz in seven days, and after that we could see the resumption of Iran's nuclear program. The difficulty is here as it was back then. then sequencing and trust, whether the events can go off as the two parties would like to see it and if they trust each other to follow through on the next stage.
How could the Hormuz deal affect U.S. naval blockade and oil exports?
John Herskowitz there on the prospect of a breakthrough. Brent crude fell by just under one percent on the news and is now trading at about one hundred and five dollars a barrel. That drop comes in that drop in oil comes after a surge of more than seven percent over the previous two days.
Well, the biggest concern for the real economy is diesel, where global supplies are already historically tight. Now the Trump administration is considering curbs on US diesel exports to bring down record prices at home. That has pushed European diesel premiums over oil to their highest level since at least 2011. The squeeze is also becoming a security concern with Europe short of refining capacity. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutter told Bloomberg that that could leave the continent exposed in the case of a war.
What we are seeing is no new refineries being built in Europe. We are seeing that refineries are being closed down. And if war breaks out, if the Russians would attack and we have to defend ourselves, we need massive amounts of diesel and other oil products, uh for our F-35s, uh our fighter jets, for our tanks, etcetera. And that is a big worry, but of course that is not directly linked now to whatever is playing out between the EU and the US.
That was Mark Rutter there as the Iran war cuts Middle East flows while Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries have also squeezed supplies further.
Why are diesel shortages and export curbs raising security concerns in Europe?
The global bond sell-off is stabilizing after yields surge to multi-decade highs. But investors are questioning whether 5% borrowing costs are becoming the new normal. US Treasury yields have risen sharply as higher oil prices add to inflation concerns, while heavy government borrowing puts further pressure on bonds. Bloomberg's head of global rate strategy, Ira Jersey, says the energy shock is making it harder for central banks to
It's harder for some central banks to cut interest rates, and many will have to continue to hike, right? The ECB was pretty hawkish last week, and you know they're very reliant on oil. And because they have a single mandate, they can't rely on things like, hey, the job market's weak, we can't uh hike interest rates. Well, they're gonna hike interest rates because inflation and inflation expectations um are either sticky or going up. And um so so you'll see the The same thing probably in Japan as well, where the Bank of Japan is gonna hike interest rates. So the US isn't gonna be immune to any of this.
Ira jersey there. Markets are now pricing in three more quarter point Fed hikes over the next year, while the ECB and Bank of Japan are also under pressure to keep tightening.
