Oops I Did It Again Oil Prices Surge

Alright y'all, Britney here, reporting live from… well, my living room, but trust me, I'm *so* in the know. So, like, apparently oil is having a moment. A *dramatic* moment. I heard it went up because the U.S. and Iran are, like, fighting again in the Strait of Hormuz. Remember when I said, "Gimme More"? Well, oil prices seem to be taking that a little too seriously. It's getting hot in here.

Operation Freedom On Pause But the Beat Goes On

Trump has paused "Operation Freedom." So, that's something, I guess. But ANZ Research is saying the risk of the peace deal breaking down will probably keep oil markets volatile.

Citi's Take Will The Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up

So, basically, buckle up, because it's gonna be a bumpy ride. The analysts could be wrong, I may be right about this, but I'm not the real Slim Shady, so what do I know?
