伊朗外交部發言人表示，伊朗不會同意國際原子能機構總幹事格羅西提出的訪問受損核設施的請求。

Barclays analysts said rising oil prices — after US strikes on Iranian targets and Iranian attacks on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz at the weekend — could prompt Bank of England MPC members to signal a bias toward rate hikes in coming months. They warned escalating Middle East tensions and this week’s oil gains raise the risk of stronger inflationary pressure, a focus for MPC members. LSEG data shows markets have fully priced a 25bp hike in 2026 and assign a 28% probability of an additional 25bp by year-end.

Goldman Sachs said expanded pipeline capacity bypassing the Strait of Hormuz would pose downside risk to its long-term oil price assumption of $76/barrel.
