Energy‑driven tensions keep rattling markets

Overview

U.S.–Iran hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz continue to lift crude to $80‑$85 a barrel, keeping inflation expectations high and prompting investors to price a roughly 70 % chance of a Fed hike in September. Spot gold slipped for a second session to about $4,070 as the metal remains under pressure from the same oil‑price shock, while Asian chip equities suffered a broad sell‑off after the KOSPI plunge and a 15 % fall in SK Hynix, dragging the Nasdaq 100 down nearly 2 %. In the United States, the resurgence of naval blockades and higher oil costs widened the trade‑balance deficit, with analysts linking the gap to a surge in AI‑data‑center imports.

Diplomatic efforts mediated by Pakistan collapsed in June, and missile exchanges resumed in July, underscoring the war’s fragility and the risk of further market disruption. European equities felt the ripple: the EU approved a rapid fertilizer‑aid package to cushion farmers from price spikes triggered by the Middle‑East crisis, while Athens’ energy‑related stocks rose on Brent’s climb toward $80 a barrel.

India’s market showed mixed signals: four of the top‑10 firms added nearly Rs 93 000 cr in market cap, but the Sensex and Nifty slipped as bond yields crossed 6.73 % following the oil surge, and foreign inflows began returning to equity markets. The World Bank warned that fertilizer‑price spikes and a likely El Niño could amplify a global food‑security threat, a fallout tied to the same petro‑chemical disruptions caused by the Hormuz blockade.

Overall, higher oil and energy prices remain the dominant driver of volatility across commodities, equities, bonds and policy responses worldwide.
