Morning Juice – US Session Prep

Morning, Traders!
It is Friday the 19th of April, here are some things to look out for.

Sentiment
An escalation of tensions in the Middle East kept stock markets on edge, while participants rushed to safe-haven assets including bonds and the dollar, which have since given up earlier gains after Iranian media downplayed the impact of the Israel strikes.

Oil prices fell sharply after previously rising above $90 per barrel. The currency moved only little higher. Treasury yields have halved an early move that brought the 10-year yield 14 basis points down after Israel conducted a retaliation assault on Iran less than a week after Tehran’s missile and drone onslaught, according to two US sources.
