Summary

Markets traded mostly lower with crude oil surging 7% as concerns mounted over a prolonged U.S.-Iran conflict, with Trump rejecting Tehran's latest offer and reports of imminent U.S. strikes pressuring the complacency narrative around physical oil disruption. The April FOMC meeting was a non-event with rates held steady, though signs of internal Fed division emerged as three members objected to the easing bias and Powell signaled a high bar for looking past the oil shock, all while investors awaited the first wave of Mag 7 earnings.
