  • Brent Crude Hits Wartime High Amid U.S.-Iran Tensions as Markets Slide
    April 30, 2026, 2:39 AM EDT. Brent crude oil soared to a wartime-level peak due to reports of fresh U.S. military plans against Iran, influencing a sharp decline in Asian stock markets. Futures suggest continuing losses in U.S. and European shares. Central banks including the Bank of England, European Central Bank, and Federal Reserve are expected to maintain current interest rates, signaling a cautious stance amid economic uncertainty. European bank earnings have exceeded forecasts, offering some market resilience. Meanwhile, Nvidia expanded its AI investments, injecting $50 million into Swedish legal tech startup Legora, boosting its valuation to $5.6 billion. These moves highlight investor confidence in AI's transformative commercial prospects despite broader market volatility. The classic 'sell in May' market adage seems to be arriving early this year, as soaring energy costs and geopolitical risks weigh heavily on equities.
