Trump Plans Hormuz Charge, Stocks Steady Before Warsh & CPI | The Opening Trade 7/14/2026
Context
President Donald Trump reinstated the US blockade of Iranian ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz and demanded a 20% reimbursement for all other cargo shipped through the waterway. US stocks steadied as traders refrained from making big bets ahead of a jam-packed day that will see the unofficial start of the earnings season, along with testimony from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh and US inflation data. Higher crude prices kept bets on a July US interest rate increase in place, with swap markets signaling a chance of a hike when the Federal Reserve meets later this month. The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won't find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Anna Edwards and Tom Mackenzie.
