What happened
Reports that the US and Iran are discussing a phased deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz prompted a correction in oil prices, though losses were fully recouped within a couple of hours. Separately, Marine Le Pen may support a proposed budget, while discussions regarding the Strait of Hormuz continue.
Why it matters
The global bond sell-off continues to influence foreign exchange markets, allowing the dollar to consolidate recent gains. Despite the brief oil correction, the dollar is finding support from the energy story, especially as the Federal Reserve’s hawkish remarks allow markets to price in more rate hikes.
