US Energy Secretary Chris Wright called the spike temporary, while BMI said renewed high-intensity fighting could push prices above earlier war peaks.

Binance News - The Fed held rates at 3.75% to 4.00% on Wednesday as Chair Kevin Warsh said it will begin shrinking its rate-setting calendar in 2027.
