The document was shared with CNN by the Lloyds List and another shipping industry source who wished to remain anonymous, according to the news report.The Trump administration is looking to restart an operation to guide commercial ships through Hormuz with naval and air support as early as this week, after Saudi Arabia and Kuwait lifted restrictions on US access to their bases and airspaces, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing Pentagon officials.Meanwhile, the Islamic Republic is reviewing messages from Pakistan, which is mediating peace negotiations with Washington, but Tehran "has not yet reached a conclusion, and no response has been given to the U.S. side," the Associated Press cited Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei on state TV.West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures rose 1.8% to $96.81, while Brent crude futures slipped 0.4% to $100.83, off session lows when declines hit more than 3% each.US Treasury yields turned the corner, leaning higher after midday, compared with a move down across most of the maturities earlier in the session.

They are also often citing AI spend and innovation.
