US Oil Update: Crude Slumps from Recent Highs as US-Iran Hostilities Pause

Crude oil futures fell sharply on Monday as US-Iran hostilities looked to have paused and amid Oman-mediated transit security talks, undoing some of oil's recent hefty gains that last week took Brent close to $100 a barrel.Front-month West Texas Intermediate crude futures tumbled almost 5.9% to $84.11 per barrel, while Brent futures declined 6.1% to $90.85/bbl. Both the contracts were trading near monthly highs last week as conflict intensified.The pullback followed nearly two weeks of intense clashes, after which the US paused strikes and Tehran engaged in constructive talks with Oman regarding transit security in the Strait of Hormuz."The US suspended strikes against Iran for a second night, easing supply-disruption fears after almost two weeks of conflict. The unannounced pause began late Friday, with Tehran saying it had halted retaliatory operations and held talks with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz," Saxo Bank analysts said.The market pullback also comes on the heels of widening pricing distortions.Compounding regional strains, Yemen-backed Houthi forces targeted Saudi energy facilities in Jazan and Yanbu with drone attacks over the weekend.Outside the Middle East, supply disruptions multiplied as oil loading at Russia's Sheskharis terminal in Novorossiysk remained halted due to Ukrainian drone strikes.ANZ analysts warned that while finite buffers such as China's reduced crude imports, emergency stock releases, and Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline have cushioned the blow, these defenses are finite, leaving the market vulnerable to further upside price risks if disruption persists.

Canada-US Divergence Creates Opportunity in Short-Term Canada Bonds, Rosenberg Research Says

The gap between economic data in Canada and the US is creating a buying opportunity for investors in the northern country's short-term government bonds, Rosenberg Research said in a note Monday."While both Canada and the US are headed in the same macroeconomic direction (disinflation and soft economic growth), Canada is much further along the path," David Rosenberg said in the note. "History tells us what this means: it is a signal for a wider negative Canada-US two-year bond spread and for a rally in Canadian bonds outright."Core consumer price inflation is running annually at 1.7% in Canada versus 2.6% in the US, while real gross domestic product trends stand at a 0.1% contraction and 2.7% growth, respectively, according to Rosenberg. Weaker Canadian growth has pushed the output gap to roughly a negative 1.3% of GDP, reinforcing a faster disinflationary path compared with the US.Historical patterns show the Canadian two-year could push to about 2.3% over the next six months, Rosenberg reported. The note traded down about 3 basis points to 2.876% on Monday. The Canada-US two-year spread could widen from roughly -140 points to -160 points, according to Rosenberg.New US tariffs could shave around 0.3 percentage point off Canadian growth, bringing the 2026 growth outlook down to roughly 1.1%, Rosenberg said.Markets continue to price in Bank of Canada policy rate tightening, including a strong likelihood of an increase by the end of 2026, but that outlook appears inconsistent with the underlying economic data, according to Rosenberg.
