After reviewing why the impromptu bombing of Iran violates the U.S. Constitution, we delve into the semantics of war, the optics of the post-bombing Presidential address, and various possible motivations, as well as potential outcomes. Then, how Trump continues to bring shame upon these lands by made sure to advocate for his dear friend, Vladimir, at the recent G7 meeting, all while our Vice President, JD "I'm a never Trump guy" Bowman, follows the ill-fitting suit by calling our former Presidents "dumb" while singing the praises of the grifting man he once warned people about. Recent NO KINGS protests exceeded the all important 3.5% mark, and made it clear that American citizens do not support the hateful mess in the White House. Lastly, and most importantly, we acknowledge the wave of senseless violence against peaceful protestors and politicians alike.

//The Wire//1730Z June 23, 2025////PRIORITY////BLUF: IRANIAN COUNTERATTACK TARGETS US MILITARY BASES IN MIDDLE EAST. SHIPPING CONCERNS MOUNT AS IRAN THREATENS TO TARGET SHIPPING IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----Middle East: This morning the kingdom of Qatar closed their airspace to commercial aviation traffic. Separately, both the United States and Britain issued shelter-in-place orders for their citizens. Shortly after these announcements, multiple Iranian ballistic missiles struck US military bases throughout the region. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar appears to have been successfully targeted to some degree, and impacts were reported at the US Navy base in Bahrain. Reports have emerged indicating unknown bases in Iraq were also targeted by ballistic missiles.Shortly after the missiles were launched, American fighter aircraft were observed scrambling in Saudi Arabia, with a number of sorties being conducted on targets unknown.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As this is a developing situation, the success of these missile strikes remains unknown until the dust settles. Video evidence indicates that many of the missiles were successfully intercepted, however some made it through to successfully impact their targets. Qatar announced that 100% of the missiles intended for their nation were successfully intercepted, however this remains unconfirmed at this time and Qatari media groups stated that at least three missiles evaded defenses to impact at Al Udeid. No word on casualties from any of the strikes reported so far today.Following the strikes on Iranian facilities over the weekend (and today's retaliatory strikes), tensions have escalated sharply throughout the region. Iranian forces have threatened to "close" the Strait of Hormuz, which traditionally involves the emplacement of sea mines throughout the choke point. There are no indications that IRGCN and/or IRIN vessels have laid any mines just yet. However, some commercial shipping companies that are unwilling to accept the risk have turned around and begun returning to their homeports.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Today, the audio file delves into C.H. Robinson's groundbreaking AI agent, a proprietary technology poised to revolutionize less-than-truckload (LTL) freight classification by adapting to upcoming changes in the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) system. As North America's largest third-party logistics (3PL) provider for LTL freight, C.H. Robinson's innovation promises enhanced efficiency and accuracy across the logistics industry by automating tasks that previously defied automation for decades. The podcast also covers the swift resolution of the legal dispute between factoring company OTR Solutions and DAT Freight & Analytics, with OTR voluntarily dismissing its lawsuit. This settlement enables DAT to fully launch Outgo, a recently acquired financial services and factoring company, through the DAT One platform. In global news, the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict has not yet severely impacted freight markets, but significant concerns persist regarding the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This strategic passage is vital for Persian Gulf nations, exporting 20% of the global oil supply, and any disruption could dramatically affect oil prices and international shipping routes. Listeners can catch Tim Dooner on What the Truck?!? for the latest on the Project44 and Fourkites feud, and Mario Connell on Running on Ice discussing cold chain efficiency with E-Road.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/19/2025): 3:05pm- On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a message directly from President Donald Trump on a potential U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear facilities: "Based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks." 3:10pm- Is an internal MAGA feud brewing on social media? During a Tuesday interview, Tucker Carlson accused Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) of wanting to “topple” Iran without knowing anything about the country. Sen. Cruz responded by suggesting Carlson is an isolationist—comparing his misguided foreign policy preferences to those of former Presidents Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter. 3:15pm- CNN pollster Harry Enten revealed data showing 79% of Americans agree with President Trump—Iran cannot be allowed to develop and possess a nuclear weapon. Remarkably, even 79% of Democrats are in agreement with the president. 3:30pm- According to The New York Times, the Trump Administration is considering ways in which Iran can retaliate in the event the U.S. strikes fortified nuclear facilities in Fordo. One of the possibilities is Iran using mines to shut down the Strait of Hormuz—where 20% of the world's oil and liquified natural gas pass through. The move would potentially isolate U.S. naval vessels in the Persian Gulf. 3:40pm- On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing to investigate former President Joe Biden's alleged physical and mental decline while in office—and whether he was fit to serve towards the end of his presidential term. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MI) called for an investigation into the Biden Administration's use of the auto pen. 4:05pm- What should President Trump do regarding Iran?

//The Wire//2100Z June 19, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: MISSILE ATTACKS CONTINUE IN MIDDLE EAST AS USA CONTINUES WARTIME PREPARATIONS. DATA BREACH LEAKS 16 BILLION LOGIN CREDENTIALS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Missile attacks between Israel and Iran continue. Crude oil prices have increased in response to the concerns that Iranian forces may mine the Strait of Hormuz (as has been theorized as a possibility for a long time). Navigational issues remain palpable as GPS jamming and spoofing has prevented satellite navigation methods from being effective. US military logistical flights continue throughout the region, and non-essential personnel are still quietly being evacuated from various diplomatic posts (such as the US Embassy in Baghdad). This afternoon the White House stated that President Trump will make his decision on direct strikes against Iran within the next two weeks.AC: As with everything the White House has stated this week; this can be interpreted in many different ways. This could be a quiet way of telling Israel "no" without openly defying them, or (more likely) it could be stalling for time while American military assets continue to pour into the region. There is also a fairly good chance that the "2 week" time period is a deception tactic, and that a decision has been made that will come to fruition much sooner than that.-HomeFront-USA: This afternoon a new data breach was reported as approximately 16 billion login credentials have been leaked. Google, Apple, and Facebook are most affected by the breach, which was discovered back in May (though the magnitude of which has only recently become public).-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The GPS jamming throughout the Strait of Hormuz may be the cause of the recent collision between oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman a few days ago. GPS jamming and spoofing in these waters has been extremely common over the past few decades, so it hasn't impacted operations that much more than normal. However, it's still a concern as operating in a GPS-denied environment makes things more challenging, and if crew members become complacent, tragedy can strike very quickly. Should things also go kinetic in the Strait of Hormuz, the rescue of crews onboard stricken commercial vessels will become more challenging due to these navigational issues.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

The platforms remain offline more than three weeks later in the lead-up to October's presidential and parliamentary elections. The timing of the shutdown also coincides with the kidnapping of Ugandan journalist, lawyer, and Oslo Freedom Forum speaker Agather Atuhaire, who says she was tortured and sexually assaulted while in Tanzanian custody before being left at the border between Tanzania and Uganda. Recently, the government also banned the use of foreign currency in daily transactions, forcing citizens to rely on the weakening Tanzanian shilling. And in April, the opposition CHADEMA party was disqualified from participating in the October elections under the pretense of treason against party leader Tundu Lissu. The censorship of online platforms, suppression of opposition and dissidents, and laws banning foreign currency all signal a coordinated strategy to silence criticism and strip Tanzanians of both their political voice and financial autonomy.

I'm Martin Rats, Morgan Stanley's Global Commodity Strategist. Today I'll talk about oil price dynamics amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. It's Wednesday, June 18th at 3pm in London. Industry watchers with an eye on the Brent Forward Curve recently noticed a rare smile shape: downward sloping in the first couple of months, but then an upward sloping curve later this year, and into 2026. Now that changed last Friday. The oil market creates these various shapes in the Forward Curve, depending on how it sees the supply demand balance. When the forward curve is downward sloping, holding inventory really is quite unattractive; so typically, operators release barrels from storage under those conditions. The market creates that structure when the conditions are tight, and barrels indeed need to be released from storage.Now on the other end, when the market is oversupplied, oil needs to be put into inventory, and the market makes this possible by creating an upward sloping curve. So, the curve that existed until only recently told the story of some near-term tightness first, but then a substantial surplus later this year and into 2026. Now when the tensions in the Middle East escalated late last week, the oil complex responded strongly. But not only did the front-month Brent future, i.e. oil for delivery next month rise quite sharply by about 17 percent, the impact of the conflict was also felt across all future delivery dates. By now, the entire forward curve is downward sloping, which means that the oil market no longer is pricing in any surplus next year – a big change from only a few days ago. Now, no doubt, Friday's events have sharply widened the range of possible future oil price paths. However, looking ahead, we would argue that oil prices fall in three main scenarios. Together they provide a framework to navigate the oil market in the next couple of weeks and months. First, let's consider the most benign scenario. Military conflict does not always correlate with disruptions to oil supply, even in major oil producing regions. So far, there is no reduction in supply from the region. If oil and gas infrastructure remains out of the crosshairs, it is entirely possible that that continues. In that case, we might see brand prices retract to around about $60 per barrel, down from the current level of about $76 per barrel.Our second scenario recognizes that Iran's oil exports could be at risk either because of attacks on physical infrastructure or because of sanctions – mirroring the reductions that we saw during 2018's Maximum Pressure Campaign by the United States. If Iran were to lose most of its export capacity, that would broadly offset the surplus that we are currently modeling for the oil market next year, which would then in turn leave a broadly balanced market. Now in a balanced oil market, oil prices are probably in a $75 to $80 per barrel range. The third and most severe scenario encompasses a broad regional disruption, possibly pushing prices as high as 2022 levels of around $120 a barrel. Now, that could unfold if Iran targets oil infrastructure across the wider Gulf region, including critical routes like the Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant portion of the world's oil transits. The situation remains very fluid, and we could see a wide spectrum of potential oil price outcomes. We believe the most likely scenario remains the first – our base case – with supply eventually remaining stable. However, the probabilities of the more severe disruptions whilst currently still lower, still justify a risk premium of about $10 per barrel for the foreseeable future. As we monitor these developments, investors should stay alert to signs such as further attacks on all infrastructure or escalations in sanctions, which could signal shifts towards our more severe scenarios. Thanks for listening. If you enjoyed the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen. And share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

US equity futures slightly higher. European markets opened narrowly mixed, while Asian markets were also mixed. Geopolitical focus dominated as Trump held a National Security Council meeting to discuss potential strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, including the Fordow facility. Reports flagged risks of Iranian retaliation and potential mining of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump reiterated a hard stance, demanding Iran's unconditional surrender. Trade talks saw little movement. Trump criticized EU and Japan for failing to offer fair deals and reiterated tariff threats, including imminent action on pharmaceuticals.Companies Mentioned: KKR & Co, Orange, Zegona Communications, Hasbro, Plains All American Pipeline, Keyera

Il conflitto tra Israele e Iran fa temere il blocco dello stretto di Hormuz, uno dei punti critici del commercio globale. Una prospettiva del genere cosa causerebbe all'economia globale e all'Australia?
On today's podcast: 1) President Trump meets his national security team as the Israel-Iran conflict rages on. Iran and Israel exchanged fire for a sixth day, with the US President meeting with his national security team to discuss the escalating conflict. The US is helping Israel intercept missiles launched by Iran, but has not joined the attacks, despite calls from some political allies to do so. The conflict has raised concerns about a wider impact on the global economy, with oil prices rising and fears of a possible attack on tankers sailing through the Strait of Hormuz. 2) Traders watch for projections as the Fed is expected to keep rates on hold. Federal Reserve officials are expected to leave interest rates unchanged for a fourth straight meeting, citing a need for more clarity on the economic impact of government policy changes. Chair Jerome Powell will likely face questions about the recent cooling of inflation and the potential for future rate cuts, as well as his meeting with President Trump and the Fed's ability to pay interest on reserves held at the central bank. 3) A candidate for New York City mayor is arrested in Manhattan. New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested outside of immigration court in lower Manhattan while escorting a defendant out of court. Lander was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and accused of assaulting a law enforcement officer, but was later released and told he wouldn’t face charges.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Crude oil markets continued to hover around the $75 a barrel mark this Wednesday, sustained by fears that the US could get directly involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran. The possibility that Iran could seek to close the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20 percent of the world's crude production transits, is also a source of concern. Also in this edition: French authorities recall Citroen cars equipped with defective airbags after the death of a woman in a car accident on Saturday.

A dramatic incident happened in the Persian Gulf, where a "dark fleet" tanker collided with another crude oil vessel near the Strait of Hormuz, igniting a fire amidst rising GPS disruptions in the region. This critical maritime choke point, responsible for a fifth of the world's oil and gas supply, continues to be a hotspot for geopolitical tensions. Shifting to international trade, President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer have announced a significant easing of tariffs between their nations. This new agreement zeroes out aerospace import tariffs from the UK and reduces auto tariffs to 10% on the first 100,000 vehicles, a sharp drop from the previous 27.5% duty. On the fuel front, benchmark diesel prices have seen their biggest upward move since January, rising 10 cents per gallon to $3.571, largely driven by escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. While crude oil prices briefly dipped, market anxieties over tightened diesel availability persist, especially given Iran's role as a supplier of heavier crude. In North America, DHL Express Canada is preparing to suspend parcel operations due to a tough labor dispute with Unifor, impacting 2,100 workers. A new Canadian law prohibiting replacement workers has forced DHL's hand, leading to an indefinite shipment embargo starting Tuesday night with full operations pausing by Friday. A serious crackdown on safety and fraud in Florida has led to the arrest of eight individuals, including two state employees, for selling fraudulent driver's licenses to undocumented migrants. Shockingly, some of these illicitly obtained licenses were commercial, enabling unqualified individuals to potentially operate tractor-trailers, posing a significant threat to highway safety. Finally, in the skies, Saudi Arabia-based AviLease has made a bold entry into the widebody air cargo market with a direct order for 10 Airbus A350 freighters. These state-of-the-art jets promise remarkable fuel efficiency and the capacity to carry up to 120 tons, featuring the industry's largest cargo door for oversized shipments and even 20-foot containers.

Kevin Green discusses Tuesday's pullback following Monday's rally. He says today's pre-market fade is not an "aggressive sell-off" adding that it appears the bulls are holding this thing up. KG discusses the Strait of Hormuz significance as it relates to the global oil and energy markets. If U.S. gets drawn into the conflict further, Kevin says that could drive up oil prices. He thinks today's trading range is tighter as investors await clarity from the Iran-Israel conflict, seeing upside potential for the S&P 500 (SPX) to $6050, with first downside support at $6000.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Rob Thummel is at the NYSE site to discuss the global energy market. He says there hasn't been a real supply disruption so far in the Iran-Israel conflict, but the greatest concern remains escalation near the Strait of Hormuz. He believes Iran wants to de-escalate the conflict, which could drop oil prices to $60. Rob believes other Middle Eastern countries and OPEC members could fill any gaps from Iranian disruptions in oil production. He adds that his firm is looking forward to alternative energy sources and energy export infrastructure as well. He names Williams (WMB), Constellation Energy (CEG) and Cheniere (LNG) among names to watch.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
“This is the first time in [the energy conflict] the U.S. has been a net exporter,” says Ali Meli, and explains why that keeps oil prices low even as Middle East tensions rise. However, the conflict will still affect the global oil markets, including potentially routing tankers away from the Strait of Hormuz. He says that if prices spiked up to over $100 as some fear, it would be extremely short-term and not an “equilibrium price.”======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

US equity futures slightly higher. European markets trading weaker and Asian markets ended mixed. Geopolitical risk remains high as Israel and Iran exchanged strikes for a third day. Market concern remains about potential for disruption to crude shipments via Strait of Hormuz. China's May activity data came in mixed: industrial output and fixed asset investment growth slowed more than expected, while retail sales surprised to the upside amid holiday spending and a trade-in stimulus. G7 summit saw little progress on trade, though bilateral talks between Trump and other leaders continued. Japan and the US discussed a potential deal, while the US and Vietnam neared a framework agreement. Preliminary University of Michigan consumer sentiment rose for the first time in five months, while inflation expectations moderated.Companies Mentioned: US Steel, Nippon Steel, Coinbase, Gemini, Google, Meta
In this episode of Supply Chain Secrets, guest host Don Davis and Lars Jensen unpack the latest ripple effects across global shipping. From the unfolding Israel-Iran conflict and misinformation surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, to erratic Trans-Pacific freight rates and spot rate premiums from Northeast Asia, they break down what's real, what's noise, and what it means for shippers. Plus, they explore how U.S.-China tariff confusion and European port congestion could reshape peak season planning. Amid all the volatility, one thing is clear: the supply chain is strained—but still standing.
Vikas Dwivedi thinks the Iran/Israel conflict will be over quickly due to low supplies on both sides and won't impact global oil supply. He calls a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz “a last resort” for Iran. He also expects OPEC+'s supply bump to hit mid-summer, potentially bringing down prices as well, but not crippling the market.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
