Oil prices increased following renewed clashes between the U.S. and Iran near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, where Iran announced its closure and launched missile and drone attacks on Gulf neighbors. This escalation led to a drop in U.S. stock-index futures, with Dow Jones futures down about 130 points and declines also seen in S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures. Bitcoin also fell below $64,000 amid the market uncertainty. The situation remains tense, potentially impacting global oil supply and market stability in the near term.
