What happened
Donald Trump proposed an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, along with a plan for Russia to increase diesel exports, though neither side confirmed the ceasefire. Brent futures slipped 1.1% to $103.50 a barrel, while US crude futures lost 1.2% to $90.73 a barrel. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was little changed, and South Korean stocks fell 1.1%.

Why it matters
The proposal for an energy ceasefire and increased Russian diesel exports was criticized by Republican and Democratic senators as potentially illegal. Separately, the US investment-grade credit default swap index rose sharply, suggesting investors are questioning if AI revenues can keep pace with rising borrowing costs and corporate refinancing costs.
