Oil prices jump after U.S. and Iran exchange fire in Strait of Hormuz
U.S. and Iranian naval forces exchanged fire in the Strait of Hormuz, and Brent crude prices climbed as markets reacted to the clashes near the critical shipping route. The February 2026 outbreak of the Iran war has already disrupted oil trade and pushed global oil prices and inflationary pressure higher. The Strait of Hormuz channels about 20 percent of seaborne oil, so any escalation threatens physical shipments and could further tighten global supply. Higher oil and fuel costs feed into consumer prices, increase fiscal stress for governments, and raise shipping costs for businesses worldwide.
Russia levels of corruption. “According to our analysis, ~$920 million worth of crude oil shorts were taken 70 minutes before an Axios report claimed the US and Iran were near a "14-point" deal to end the war.” The Kobeissi Letter, analysts of global capital markets. The shorts gained $125m.
Granuailynn12Gee, wonder who in American govt & business would have access to understanding & implementing Russia levels of corruption?🤔 That's a mind bender, I tell ya!😒
Renee Babcock6Might be time to start looking at bank accounts of the inner circle to see who suddenly has large deposits on the dates these announcements are happening. It should be a relatively small number of people.
Seán Miller6Why is this so hard to trace back to a person or entity. Am I led to believe that the IRS wouldn't be interested in getting their share of the $125mil. And if this is illegal then shouldn't the SEC be investigating it? If neither are investigating then I guess we know who's responsible.
lgotts.bsky.social6So there clearly are only a handful of folks with access to such info in advance. At some point, patterns may emerge and identification may be possible. I can’t wait….
aka Uncle Cracker4Bet your ass that Axios principals got a taste of that sweet action as well!
Dave Antarctica3Markets look like 1928 at this moment
Michele2If this doesn’t spark a revolution to rid us of these corrupt greedy twats, nothing will. While Americans are going bankrupt everyday because of illness, these conmen are coining it in
Graham Cox2Let's be honest, I We couldve all done the same. The markets are clearly being played. Every couple of days theres a game changing statement or action
𝕃𝕒𝕦𝕣𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕖𝕄2Who are the ones losing here ? The illicit gains aren’t coming out of thin air - some others must be being hit badly …
Tonezib2Where's the SEC! Corrupted too.
MayhemMel!2Not all is well in Russia
jackmom.bsky.social2Why not Russia? Maybe Donald is paying back Putin for both elections
Eric Lussier2Tomorrow will bring another scandal and the US people will continue 😴
Kai [I am an extraordinarily brilliant person] Kronfield2They learned/are learning from the best. I don’t think all those phone calls with Putin are just them exchanging niceties.
Explosions are reported in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's state broadcaster says, describing an "exchange of fire" between Iran and the "enemy" The US has yet to comment on the reports - the BBC has reached out to US Central Command (Centcom) for more information This is a breaking news story on BBC
Vibe With The Void16I really hate how I assume that Iran is a more trustworthy source than my own government. A complete failure of liberal democracy and the institutional 'safeguards' that are meant to check unlawful action.
Magnus Lehnsherr10We have met the enemy and he is us.
Robert Fischoff5Special Military Operations have a life of their own. Just ask Putin about that.
Thegrumpybluedot3This is an illegal war. Congress, by law, had to approve weeks ago. Republicans in the US Congress ceased being a co-equal branch of the US government. Fuck this wanna be king, Trump.
