What happened
Traders are increasingly betting that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates to combat persistent inflation, driven by rising bond yields and soaring oil prices. The US plans to enforce a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, charging a 20% fee on cargo crossing the waterway, which is reviving concerns about an energy shock. Separately, Goldman Sachs reported strong earnings, with EPS of $20.98 per share and sales of $20.34 billion.
