Kpler says about 40% of Gulf crude now leaves without crossing Hormuz, up from 17% before the war, as exports regain prewar levels. Iran's own exports are blockaded to almost nothing, and it can still strike the onshore oil assets that now carry more of the flow.

Trump is sending about 9,000 troops and a third aircraft carrier to the Middle East while calling more bombing of Iran after Nov. 3 "possible." For oil and rates, the case for a longer war rests on his refusal of an Iranian truce that offered to open the Strait of Hormuz.

Buyers pulled the 10-year Treasury yield from a 24-year high of 5.34% to a 5.233% close on Thursday, after its biggest quarterly rise since 1994. Part of that demand was a flight to safety, and part was a bet that the Fed holds off on further hikes.

Anthropic meets prospective IPO investors on October 14 with nearly $4.6 billion of 2025 revenue and at least $518 billion in compute commitments. Roughly 80% of those commitments cannot be cancelled, so what buyers will pay depends on how fast sales grow toward a largely fixed bill.

Tencent has reportedly agreed to pay Oracle about $7 billion over five years to rent 100,000 AI chips in Southeast Asia, with roughly 30% paid immediately. Oracle is burning cash, so the deal would give it money up front, and Tencent would get chips that never enter China.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says the Senate's Sept. 15 failure to advance the Clarity Act helped crypto, citing Bitcoin's roughly 8% gain since the vote. Half of his case is the status quo outliving the bill, and the rest is SEC relief that future regulators can change.

Traders betting on lasting inflation pushed the 10-year Treasury yield to 5.145% on Thursday, its highest since the 2007 financial crisis. Oil back above $105 keeps that bet alive, and AXA's chief economist names two more pressures, tech-sector borrowing and US debt, that would survive a truce.
