Josh Gilbert, Market Analyst, eToro discusses how much justification there is for US Treasury Scott Bessent to call for a 50 bps rate cut in September, with a view that short-term interest rates should be between 1.5 percentage points and 1.75 percentage points lower than their current level. He weighs whether the Federal Reserve will bow to the rising pressure from the Trump administration.

US Markets Wrap: Oil Surges Even as the IEA Opens the Tap

Oil prices have pulled back after an earlier surge driven by fears the Iran conflict could disrupt shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Crude briefly approached $120 a barrel before retreating as traders bet governments could release emergency reserves to offset potential supply shocks. Confusion over a social media post suggesting a tanker had been escorted through the strait, later contradicted by the White House, added to the volatility. Reports that Iran could be preparing to deploy mines in the vital shipping lane have kept markets on edge even as stocks staged a rebound. Josh Gilbert, Market Analyst, eToro explore the return of the geopolitical risk premium and what it means for investors.
