The ninth day of the war in the Middle East. The main thing about the current events - in this material.

Trump thinks about seizing uranium, Iran's new leader, a 'nightmare' for the market: day 9 of the war

The price of Brent crude soared by 10%, exceeding $94 per barrel for the first time since 2023. The sharp rise in prices was triggered by news that Kuwait began cutting production due to a shortage of oil storage facilities, and Qatar warned that a prolonged war could "collapse the world economy". The White House said the war could last another four to six weeks, and US President Donald Trump ruled out talks with Iran and demanded its "unconditional surrender". Analysts believe that without de-escalation of the conflict, the cost of oil could exceed $100 in the coming days. At the same time, the US market was pressurized by the employment report, which contrary to expectations showed a reduction in the number of jobs and an increase in unemployment. What was happening in the market was followed in this online.
