Iran has received a 10-day ceasefire proposal, but U.S. President Trump warned that Iran will pay a price if U.S. military personnel are killed. The Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are at risk; the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is critical for Saudi Arabia’s crude oil exports of 4.9 million barrels per day through the Red Sea. The CPC oil terminal in the Black Sea has ceased operations, disrupting energy and food supplies. Former New York Fed President Dudley believes rising energy prices increase pressure for rate hikes, while Morgan Stanley expects rates to remain unchanged for the full year. U.S. money market funds managing over $8 trillion in assets have shortened duration, increasing holdings in overnight repos and floating-rate bonds. The market is focused on responses to the 10-day ceasefire proposal, Houthi actions against Saudi vessels, and the status of CPC terminal restoration.
