Dow Jones2026/09/01 07:340734 GMT - Yields on U.K. government bonds, or gilts, climb to multiyear highs due to inflation concerns as the U.S.-Iran war persists. Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz have not succeeded, raising fears about prolonged oil supply disruptions and high energy costs. U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh also warned on Friday about inflation risks. Ten-year gilt yields rise to 5.224%, their highest level since 2008, LSEG data show. Thirty-year gilt yields rise to their highest since 1998 at 5.871%.(miriam.mukuru@wsj.com)

EIA expects Brent crude spot prices to remain at $100 per barrel for the rest of the year and raises the average price forecasts for this year and next.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has raised its forecast for average Brent crude oil prices in 2026 and 2027 to $97 and $86, respectively, reflecting pressures from global inventory declines, Middle East supply disruptions, and rising transportation costs. As oil production in the Middle East gradually recovers and global inventories rebound from low levels, the EIA expects the average spot price of Brent crude to fall to $87 per barrel in the second quarter of 2027, and further decline to $77 per barrel by the fourth quarter.
