AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoEnergy & Trade Disruption: Oil jumped more than 2% as the US and Iran traded “self-defence” strikes after Iran shot down a US MQ-1 Predator drone; the US hit Iranian radar/drone control sites near Geruk and Qeshm, while Iran’s IRGC said it retaliated and Kuwait reported intercepting incoming drones and missiles—renewing fears for the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for roughly a fifth of global oil and gas shipments. Lebanon Front: The same escalation pressure is spilling into Lebanon, where Israel expanded operations beyond the Litani River and seized Beaufort Castle, while Hezbollah continued drone attacks into Israel—raising the risk that any US-Iran ceasefire talks stay fragile. Markets Watch: Asian equities extended gains on AI optimism, but crude’s rebound kept investors cautious; copper ticked up on supply-tightness concerns even as Iran-deal uncertainty capped momentum.
