Market context: CL: Trump rejecting an Iran proposal related to the Strait of Hormuz directly affects oil supply expectations and pricing.

Brent crude is expected to move higher amid concerns over potential disruption to Middle East shipping lanes. SPY: Rising oil prices and renewed Middle East tensions weigh on broader equity sentiment, reflected in slipping stock futures. S&P 500 futures suggest a negative open as energy-driven inflation concerns and geopolitical risk weigh on risk assets.
