  • Trump rejects Iran’s seven-day Hormuz plan as report says bombing could resume after midterms
  • Yanbu crude loadings still unconfirmed as Brent holds near $105 into the weekend
  • US and China publish eight-point consensus with $30 billion tariff cut; US readout silent on Taiwan

Full edition available to Individual, Professional, and Institutional subscribers —
