⚡ 5 THINGS TO KNOW RIGHT NOW — BEFORE THE BELL

1. 🛡️ Iran war is back on — the US launched a fifth wave of strikes on Iran since the ceasefire, hitting Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, Sirik, Jask and Farur; Iran retaliated by hitting targets in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan. This is the dominant story of the session — not a "risk-on" morning.

🌍 MACRO BACKDROP — THE BIG PICTURE

This is not a garden-variety pre-market — it's a geopolitical-risk session. Over the weekend the US carried out its fifth wave of strikes on Iran since the ceasefire was signed three weeks ago, and Iran retaliated against US-aligned targets in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan. Explosions were confirmed in multiple Iranian port cities. Oil has repriced hard as a result — WTI up roughly 4% to the $74 area, Brent pushing toward $80 — because the Strait of Hormuz, which handles about 20% of global oil and gas flow, is once again seeing severely reduced tanker traffic.

US index futures are barely moving (ES +0.09%, SPY pre-market +0.06%), which tells you equities haven't fully repriced the reignited Hormuz risk yet — this is a headline-dependent tape where a single new escalation or de-escalation tweet can move futures 1%+ in minutes. Overnight chip weakness (SMH -2.1%, South Korea's EWY -7.3%) suggests semis and Asia-linked tech are absorbing more of the risk-off than the broad index right now. Chinese equities are already down to one-month lows on the same Iran overhang.

Trader awareness: this is a HEADLINE-DEPENDENT session. Size positions for gap risk both ways, and don't chase the first 15 minutes of price action until you see how futures react to the NY open.

🤖 STOCK MARKET NEWS — SECTOR BY SECTOR

🔥 HOT SECTOR #1: ENERGY 🛢️

Hormuz risk premium is back in the price

Energy is the one sector with a genuine, news-driven overnight tailwind. WTI's ~4% jump and Brent's push toward $80 are a direct read-through from reduced Hormuz tanker traffic after the weekend strikes. XOM closed Friday at $138.88 (+1.03%), and with crude up sharply since, energy names should open with a bid.
