📋 Key Takeaway

Wall Street is set to open lower as oil prices continue to climb, reaching their highest level in nearly two years due to the ongoing war in Iran. Benchmark U.S. crude surged 6.8% and Brent crude gained 4.7%, driven by disruptions to tanker activities in the Strait of Hormuz and halted Iranian gas exports to Asia.
