Maya Lindstrom Iran will likely respond with more disruptions, and regular drivers like me end up paying for it.
Nicole Hardy We need to speed up domestic drilling and renewables instead of relying on such a volatile region for energy.
Jared Kim Stocks falling on higher oil shows inflation isn't done yet despite what some claim.
Marcus Bell Higher energy costs like this usually slow down growth across the whole economy before long.
Dana Whitfield This combination of weak stocks and high oil looks like more inflation ahead.
Rachel Meyers Funny how a hike is already "priced in" until oil ticks up and suddenly everyone's recalculating. Same story, different quarter.
Elena Vasquez Losing a $4 billion auction and calling it "pursuing more deals" is a nice way to spin coming in second place.
Rachel Meyers Tech rally feels shaky if oil keeps climbing on Hormuz tensions - that inflation math doesn't add up well for the Fed.
Marcus Bell Fracking offshore instead of investing in renewables is the wrong direction for our energy future and the environment.
Dana Whitfield Would like to see who's actually behind this before jumping to conclusions. Lot of finger pointing in that region already.
Maya Lindstrom Every time tensions flare near Hormuz you can bet gas prices at my local station jump within hours, even before any oil actually stops flowing.
Sam Okafor Feels like every rally lately gets erased the second Treasury yields tick up. Market's way too jumpy about rates right now.
Sam Okafor Wouldn't be surprised if this pushes prices at the pump up within a week or two. Markets react fast to fear even when actual supply hasn't changed yet.
Marcus Bell The Fed put itself in a corner and now every jobs or CPI report gets treated like a coin flip for the economy.
Rachel Meyers India walking a tightrope between old ally Russia and Western pressure. Curious if Modi's private message to Putin is tougher than the public one.
Marcus Bell People forget PDVSA lost most of its skilled engineers to migration, you can't just flip a switch without the workforce to run it.
