Market Update
Fuel to the Fire: War Sends Energy Markets into Overdrive
Global energy markets have been thrown into turmoil as the Iran conflict disrupts Middle East oil and gas production, sending shockwaves through supply chains and prices worldwide.
With the Strait of Hormuz—responsible for roughly 20% of global oil supply—under threat, crude and LNG prices have surged and turned volatile.
Energy-dependent regions, particularly in Asia, are feeling the sharpest impact, while North American markets are emerging as relative winners due to stronger energy security.
The crisis is also reshaping global capital flows, pushing investors toward safer energy-producing economies.
Meanwhile, rising oil prices are feeding into inflation concerns, forcing central banks to reconsider rate cuts and potentially pivot back toward tightening.
⏱ TLDR: Middle East conflict is choking global energy supply, pushing oil prices higher, boosting North America, and putting inflation—and rate cuts—back at risk.
Key Takeaways 💡
🌍 Energy insecurity returns: Middle East disruptions are tightening global supply, driving price volatility and reshaping trade flows.
📈 Inflation risk rises again: Higher oil prices could delay or reverse expected rate cuts as central banks react to renewed price pressures.

The TSX had a broadly negative month, with widespread declines across financials and materials outweighing gains in energy.

Energy was a bright spot, with CNQ (+15.47%), ENB (+3.97%), and SU posting gains, helping cushion the downside. Shopify (+1.27%) showed modest resilience, but overall sentiment leaned risk-off as red dominated most sectors.
