Brent hits $114 as Iran widens its threats — while bonds rally on a tech rout
Brent reached $114 this morning, its highest since May, after Iran threatened to strike economic and civilian targets across the region if US attacks resume. The oil surge follows a sharp sell-off in technology shares on Thursday: Meta fell 7% on the cost of its AI build-out, the Nasdaq lost 2.60%, and investors piled into Treasuries, which posted their biggest one-day fall in yields since the 2023 banking crisis. Gold slid towards $4,000. At midday Europe is extending its losses, with the STOXX 600 down 0.48% as Kering tumbles on weak Gucci sales, while oil majors and L'Oréal gain. Most of Asia rebounded; Taiwan was shut by a typhoon. — Brent hits $114 as Iran widens its threats — while bonds rally on a tech rout
