AT&T (T.N) Q2 revenue $31.6 bln, +2.6% YoY, versus consensus $31.77 bln.

Japan’s Ministry of Finance said Wednesday yen‑denominated crude import prices in June rose 84.7% YoY to JPY117,684 per kiloliter, the highest level since comparable records began in 1979 and the third consecutive monthly record, above May’s JPY114,076/kl. The June price equals about $722 per kiloliter or $117.16 per barrel (the ninth‑highest on record). MOF cited supply disruption from a Strait of Hormuz closure and higher energy prices; yen weakness and rising insurance and freight costs also pushed prices higher.

CENTCOM said US forces completed the 11th consecutive night of strikes against Iran at 8:15 p.m. ET on July 21. Targets included Iranian military operations centers, maritime combat-capability facilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage sites and military logistics infrastructure, aimed at further degrading Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Since early May CENTCOM has assisted about 900 commercial vessels and the transit of roughly 450 mln barrels of crude through the strait.
