Futures Slide As Oil Jumps On Iran Strike Report, Bond Rout Resumes Ahead Of 30Y Auction
US equity futures are lower, extending Wednesday's decline, with the S&P sliding further from Tuesday's record high as oil spikes on reports that Trump may order fresh strikes on Iran before the midterms, a tanker was hit off Qatar in the first strike deep inside the Persian Gulf in about a month, and an approaching storm has shut some US output; as a result the global bond rout picks up where it left off with 10Y yields hitting 5.35%. As of 8:00 am ET, S&P futures are 0.4% lower at 7,820 and Nasdaq futures are down 0.5%, while Dow and Russell futures are both down 0.8%. This follows a session in which the S&P (-0.2%) slipped from its record, almost three-quarters of the index fell and the Russell 2000 (-1.3%) sank to a 4-month low. In premarket trading, Tesla and Nvidia underperform their Mag 7 peers as chip, growth and AI-related stocks trend lower, while Microsoft and Apple edge higher; Defensives lea...

Putin Praises Iran's 'Courage' As US Gloats Over Oil Blockade & 'Zero' Exports
The Trump administration has been busy boasting that it has brought Iran's economy to its knees through the navy enforced oil blockade and through sweeping 'Economic D-Day' sanctions, but in direct contradiction to this, Russia is busy hailing Tehran's 'courage'.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone call Wednesday, on the occasion of Putin's birthday, wherein the two leaders pledged to strengthen bilateral cooperation, per readouts from both sides.
Zuma/TASSPutin pointed to their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty as staying steadfast, despite "current developments and events in the region" - a reference to the ongoing conflict between Iran and the United States.
Russia supports these diplomatic efforts, Putin continued, and "Iranian friends can be assured" that Moscow is ready to help, he informed Pezeshkian. And crucially the...

50 Iranian Tanker Logjam Unfolds As US Naval Blockade Starves Tehran Of Oil Revenue
Bloomberg cites a new report from United Against Nuclear Iran that claims the US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has created a parking lot of more than 50 Iranian tankers that dare not cross the critical waterway.
The nonprofit think tank, which focuses on combating threats posed by Iran, said the number of laden tankers was broadly unchanged from two months earlier. The tankers were mostly carrying crude, along with some petroleum products and LNG.
UANI also noted that empty tankers were waiting at anchorages across the Indo-Pacific region rather than returning to Iranian ports, adding that at least 20 Iran-flagged ships were positioned off Sri Lanka and another was off Oman.
UANI's report comes days after Bloomberg said Iran's crude loadings fell to zero in September.
Over the weekend, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent joined Mike Allen on "The Axios Show" and confirmed: "For the first ...
