Why did the Iranian missile attacks on US bases cause oil prices to fall?
Now, who'd have thought that attempted missile attacks on US bases would push oil prices down? But that's what happened today markedly. We'll look at what markets and commentators are making of these latest attacks, which happened just a few hours ago. But it's more dovish fed comments that seem to be having the most market impact this morning. Uh whilst the PMIs, well, they didn't really move too far, so not much market reaction there, but a lot to come today. We'll take you through it all. Tuesday morning it's the twenty fourth of june twenty twenty five. It's the morning call from Nab. Good morning. So a n all point three percent fall in the US dollar this morning. Nothing too massive on the DXY. That's down to ninety eight point four, but that is down just over nine percent for the year to date.
The Aussie this morning is stuck around sixty four point six US cents, hardly moving. Well, actually that's not strictly true. I mean it lost a lot of ground getting down to sixty three point seven US cents earlier, but it's now back up to where it started the session. The euro, though, up naught point five percent, the pound up naught point six percent. Bond yields are lower, down uh four basis points for ten year treasuries, down to four point three three percent. Canadian ten year yields also down four basis points, uh down five basis points for ten year GILTs, but most of the rest of Europe is down just one or two basis points. Aussie ten years yesterday were at four point two one percent, little difference from that on futures this morning.
And stocks are higher. So in the US at the close, up naught point nine percent for the Dow. One percent for the SP and one percent for the Nasdaq as well. Um the standouts have been lots of buying close uh into the close, by the way. Consumer discretionary is the standout, followed by real estate, uh but big falls in the energy sector, which is down about two and a half percent. In Europe, though, with the Eurostocks fifty closing down a quarter percent, the DAX is down a third of one percent, and there's a point two percent drop in the FTSE one hundred. And oil, well.
How did the market react to the sharp drop in oil prices after the attacks?
What do you make of this? WTI and Brent, both down almost seven percent. It does seem a bit counterintuitive, doesn't it? And much of that fall is since Iran tried to bomb US air bases in Iran and Qatar. Uh a uh message from Donald Trump might have a bit to do with that, but here's Nabs Taylor Nugent joining me from Melbourne. I mean you'd think the prospect of an escalating war in the Middle East would push prices higher. Yeah. But this wasn't a surprise, was it? That's the key thing. It's been quite well orchestrated, it seems.
Yeah, good good morning, Phil. I think, you know, it's more more about what the what the retaliation wasn't than than what it was that is is why we've seen the the kind of the market reaction that we have. You know, if you look back, zoom out a little bit in terms of kind of the market moves uh since uh that that news o over the weekends. Um we did see kind of initial kind of you know, risk off reaction. Oil was oil was higher, the US dollar was was stronger and we kind of saw that saw that mostly kind of paired uh throughout the throughout the day. And the ulti ulti dollar was weaker than. And the Aussie Aussie dollar was weaker as well,
so I've been throwing that one into the mix
and that's come back too. Exactly, yeah, yeah. And, you know, a l a lot of that initial reaction can kind of already been been paired and then we saw kind of, you know, that m real leg lower in in oil prices, um, you know, oil down around around seven percent, Brent down around, you know, seventy one, a bit below seventy two dollars, almost kind of a ten dollar range during during the day, and that was, you know, in response to that news of the the Iranian retaliation targeting a a US uh base in Qatar. But you know, the key things there were, you know, reports around that suggest that it was it was telegraphed, um, you know, that um it was successfully defended. There were there were no casualties reported and also kind of, you know, a lot of the concern was that the retaliation could be targeted towards towards oil uh supplies and and supplies.
