US President Donald Trump has ruled out extending the expired truce with Iran, leaving the simmering conflict and a tussle for control of the Strait of Hormuz in limbo. Brent crude hit its highest level in more than three weeks, as prospects for a swift reopening of Hormuz faded.

European bonds followed the US and Asia lower, after 30-year Treasury yields climbed to levels not seen since 2007. That’s driven by concerns over government finances and elevated energy prices.

And Bloomberg has learnt that Anthropic is on track to generate annualized revenue of more than $65 billion based on its current performance. That’s up more than sevenfold from its pace at the end of last year. The dramatic acceleration in revenue bolsters Anthropic’s plans for a public listing.
