If the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut for another six weeks or more, many energy analysts and traders say oil prices would need to climb much higher to bring supply and demand into balance. Think $200 a barrel .

If the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut for another six weeks or more, many energy analysts and traders say oil prices would need to climb much higher to bring supply and demand into balance. Think $200 a barrel . Such a grim figure—along with US gasoline prices topping $4 per gallon, Iran attacking a fully laden tanker and continued strikes around the Persian Gulf—may be among the factors prompting a Trump administration pivot Tuesday. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the US military’s job now is to maintain pressure and compel Tehran to make a deal. Hegseth said, without providing evidence, that the US-Israeli bombing campaign was causing Iranian desertions. But Iran’s military—both its regular forces and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps—has appeared from the outside to remain unified in the face of US and Israeli attacks. There’s little sign of desertions, particularly among senior commanders . News that a frustrated Donald Trump may be looking for a way out and Iran’s reported openness to negotiations sent markets skyward . Late in the day, the president said the US would end the bombing in a few weeks . But for much of Tuesday, the administration focused instead on the Iranian stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, the growing energy crisis and lack of response to Trump’s calls for help. He threatened allies unwilling to assist in reopening the strait, saying in a social media post, “ you’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself .” What You Need to Know Today A previous Trump threat—to let Russia attack other NATO members— didn’t do it. Publicly mulling annexing a NATO ally’s territory didn’t do it. But Trump’s decision to start the now-month long war with Iran may be what finally fractures the 77-year-old defensive alliance . NATO members are dropping previous efforts at mollifying Trump and instead increasing resistance to his demands they get involved in the war. Spain closed its airspace to US jets and Italy denied US military air...

In this article .SPX .IXIC @TY.1 Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Want to know how the market will react when the U.S.-Iran war finally ends? CNBC's Jim Cramer said Tuesday's session gives investors the answer. The "Mad Money" host said that the market "tipped its hand" during Tuesday trading as stocks finally rallied and rates went lower , describing the day as "a dry run of what will ultimately occur." The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite jumped 2.91% and 3.83%, respectively, after a slew of headlines that gave traders hope of a de-escalation in the Middle East. The Wall Street Journal reported late Monday that President Trump told aides that the U.S. is willing to end military hostilities with Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely shut. He also told the New York Post that the Iran war will probably end soon. Both follow an unconfirmed report that the Iranian President reiterated he is open to ending the conflict with security guarantees. "Today we saw what would happen when you give peace a chance," Cramer said. "Maybe this dialogue with Iran is really nothing more than an exchange of messages. Maybe it's meaningless. So, consider today a dry run of what will ultimately occur when the war winds down." But Cramer predicted the market will shift in three ways once the war really is over. First, he noted that rates are set to fall, marking a major reversal for the 10-year Treasury since the war began a month ago. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which influences borrowing costs across the economy, has jumped on concerns of inflation risks from higher energy costs and lower odds of the Federal Reserve cutting rates in 2026. "They [will] go down noticeably," Cramer said of rates. "They go down because we now realize that there's a huge amount of inflation stemming from the war. Not just from oil going higher – we saw that at the pump – but from the ancillary products that came out of the Gulf: fertilizer, polyethylene and alumin...

jewhyte/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Microsoft ( MSFT ) is in exclusive talks with Chevron ( CVX ) and investment fund Engine No. 1 over a long-term deal that would underpin a massive energy complex in West Texas, providing electricity to power a large data center campus, Bloomberg reported after-hours Tuesday. The proposed natural gas-fired power plant is projected to cost ~$7B and initially generate 2,500 MW of electricity, making it one of the largest of its kind in the U.S., according to the report. Chevron ( CVX ) previously disclosed some d etails regarding its proposed power plant—such as the chosen site near the city of Pecos, close to the Texas-New Mexico border in the heart of the oil-producing Permian Basin—but not the end user. The Permian produces so much natural gas—a by-product of oil—that it often overwhelms pipelines, so some gas is burned off because it cannot be transported, making the region an ideal location for power plants. A deal with Microsoft ( MSFT ) would secure a long-term customer for the plant's electricity and help finance its construction. The project, which could be up and running before 2030, still requires tax and environmental approvals as well as agreement on commercial terms.

Earnings Call Insights: BRC Group Holdings (RILY) Q4 2025 Management View Bryant Riley (Co-Founder, Chairman & Co-CEO) said the company “filed on time” its 10-K, calling it “an important milestone for our counterparties, shareholders and the organization as a whole,” and framed the last two years as a period of “rebuilding our balance sheet, shifting operations, refocusing parts of the platform and positioning BRC GH for what comes next.” Riley highlighted 2025 profitability and deleveraging, saying, “In 2025, we reported net income available to common shareholders of $299.4 million and earnings per share of $9.80. We reduced net debt significantly,” and added that the firm “welcomed the new CFO, Scott Yessner, enhanced our finance staff and transitioned to BDO as our auditing partner.” Riley positioned small- and mid-cap conditions as supportive of BRC’s core franchise, saying “traditional lenders have pulled back,” and that demand for BRC’s capabilities “is growing,” while announcing, “yesterday, we announced BRC Specialty Finance, a dedicated platform” aimed at that gap. Riley also cited litigation developments: “the Delaware Court of Chancery dismissed, in full, the Marstons versus Riley derivative action,” adding, “We will not be commenting further on pending litigation.” Thomas Kelleher (Co-Founder, Co-CEO & Director) detailed 2025 divestitures used to deleverage, including “the sale of Atlantic Coast recycling for a purchase price of approximately $102 million with net cash proceeds…of approximately $69 million,” a partial sale of W2 Wealth “representing…approximately $4 billion in assets under management for a net consideration of $26 million,” and the sale of GlassRatner and B. Riley Farber advisory “generating cash consideration of approximately $118 million.” Kelleher said the firm finished transition agreements tied to prior divestitures and emphasized cost actions in wealth: “we…consolidate[d] the clearing arrangement…which streamlines back-office opera...

Gold held three days of gains after President Donald Trump said he expected the US to end the war with Iran within two to three weeks. Bullion was steady near $4,670 an ounce in early trading, having risen 3.5% in the previous session. Trump suggested that the US had largely accomplished its military goals and would leave it to other nations to resolve issues with the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier on Tuesday, Iranian state media quoted President Masoud Pezeshkian as saying the Islamic Republic was ready to end the war if its demands are met. Read More: Trump Says US Will Leave Iran Within Two to Three Weeks Despite a rebound in the past few days, bullion’s near-12% decline in March marked its worst month since 2008. The Middle East conflict, now in its fifth week, has upended global markets and choked supplies of energy and other goods, triggering concerns about a simultaneous spike in inflation and slowdown in economic growth. Spot gold rose 0.1% to $4,670.78 an ounce as of 6:23 a.m. Singapore time. Silver gained 0.2% to $75.31. Platinum and palladium also advanced. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index , a gauge of the US currency, ended the previous session down 0.6%.
