What happened

Well supportedReported by 18 independent outlets

Geopolitical risk from Iran's attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz drove Brent crude oil prices higher, with the price reaching $101.14 a barrel. Surging oil prices and producer price data fueled worries that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates. Although earlier inflation data pushed September Fed hike odds to 88.7%, market expectations for a rate increase in October have since dropped to 22%.
