US forces destroyed five Iranian tankers carrying crude oil on Tuesday in response to two attempts to hit a US Navy warship with ballistic missiles in as many days, Central Command said. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent challenged traders to test his resolve on boosting Japan’s currency, saying when he wades into markets these days he’s effectively doing so with inside information. Plus, the US escalated its trade war with Canada following Ottawa’s tariff retaliation, moving to block imports of some products while slapping new tariffs on others, as well as seeking to bar Canadian companies from selling to government contractors.
