BlackRock strategists said the US–Iran conflict-driven energy price surge will have a persistent negative impact on the European economy, while potentially benefiting energy infrastructure firms. They warned that buffers that absorbed the first-round shock earlier this year are fading and Europe is particularly vulnerable. Rising energy costs have knocked about 0.5% off euro-area GDP relative to a no-price-rise baseline. Strategists expect assets able to withstand future energy shocks—energy infrastructure—to attract increasing investor demand, and note that higher bond yields have depressed equities, leaving US and European utility stocks looking relatively attractive.

以色列《今日以色列報》援引海灣地區外交消息人士稱，沙特國防大臣哈立德·本·薩勒曼近日訪問伊朗，討論與也門胡塞武裝停火，相關方案據稱涉及沙特經伊朗向胡塞武裝提供10億美元，用於支付其控制區的公共部門工資及重建民用基礎設施，以換取胡塞停止襲擊沙特。土耳其情報部門負責人易卜拉欣·卡林和巴基斯坦陸軍參謀長阿西姆·穆尼爾也參與會談，伊朗提出從中斡旋。不過，沙特官方未證實資金轉移，並表示在胡塞武裝歸還其從也門政府手中奪取的領土之前，沙特不會屈服於軍事脅迫，也不會向胡塞武裝提供資金。沙特外交部稱，此次訪問旨在緩和地區緊張、推動外交解決。
