High oil prices are fueling a <strong>steep rise in inflation<\/strong>, increasing the risk of capital erosion for bond investors.<\/p>\n<p>The US Fed has entered into a $100 billion <strong>currency swap<\/strong> agreement with the United Arab Emirates. The facility will help the UAE to survive the loss of oil revenues while the Strait of Hormuz is closed. Further currency swaps with other Gulf States will likely follow. The currency swaps are effectively a medium-term loan from the Fed, but risk becoming a standing facility if the conflict in the Gulf is not quickly resolved. Their primary purpose is to avoid the Gulf States selling reserves to make up for lost oil revenue. The sell-off of hundreds of billions of US Treasuries would flood the market and drive up yields.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>AI boom<\/strong> has driven a massive surge in capital spending by mega-cap technology companies as they vie for market share in a rapidly expanding market. Much of the capital spending is funded through long-term debt issuance, leading to a steep increase in the supply of high-quality long-term debt.<\/p>\n<h2>US-Iran Conflict<\/h2>\n<p>President Donald Trump on Sunday again threatened Iran:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFor Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won\u2019t be anything left of them,\u201d Trump said in a Truth Social post. \u201cTIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/05\/17\/trump-warns-iran-wont-be-anything-left.html\">CNBC<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s post caused a sharp jump in Brent crude futures prices when the market opened on Monday.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.incrediblecharts.com\/images\/2026\/2026-05-17-brent-jul26.png?resize=525%2C297&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Brent Crude Futures (ICE July'26)\" width=\"525\" height=\"297\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Stocks &amp; Financial Markets<\/h2>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 retreated below 7500, falling 1.2% on Friday.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.incrediblecharts.com\/images\/2026\/2026-05-17-spx.png?resize=525%2C404&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"S&amp;P 500\" width=\"525\" height=\"404\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Dow similarly retreated below 50,000, falling 1.1%.
