The United States on Friday carried out a series of military strikes against Iran-backed militants in half a dozen sites in Iraq and Syria, according to a U.S. Defense Department official, marking a sharp escalation of the war in the Middle East that the Biden administration has for four months sought to avoid.
President Biden had promised to respond to a drone attack in Jordan on Sunday that killed three American soldiers and injured at least 40 more service members. The military action sought to send a message to Iran and the militias it backs that continued attacks on U.S. troops in the region and international ships in the Red Sea would draw a response.
The energy sector is off to a mixed to lower start pressured by weakness in the crude complex amid mixed performances in the major equity futures. U.S. stock index futures pared early morning gains after a stronger-than-expected jobs report dampened hopes that the U.S. Federal Reserve could start cutting interest rates early this year. A Labor Department report showed non-farm payrolls rose by 353,000 in January, compared with 180,000. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate stayed steady at 3.7% in January from the month before. Economists had forecast a rise to 3.8%.
WTI and Brent crude oil futures are trading lower for the third consecutive session, despite the OPEC+ group's decision to leave its production policy unchanged, keeping benchmarks on track for weekly losses on China economic growth fears and efforts to establish a ceasefire in the Middle East. OPEC+ will decide in March whether or not to extend voluntary oil production cuts in place for the first quarter following a ministerial panel meeting where no changes were made to the group's output policy. Elsewhere, Mediators are awaiting a response from Hamas to a proposal drafted last week with Israeli and U.S. spy chiefs and passed on by Egypt and Qatar for the war's first extended ceasefire.
Natural gas futures are swinging in and out of negative territory as the NOAA's 6-10 day forecast shows above-normal temps east of the Rockies, especially across the middle and upper-MS Valley, and the Great Lakes region.
