Hello, Curse and Coffee friends,
Today, we look at Trump’s victory lap.
Hit reply and let us know what you think (we read all of your kind words).
Coffee at the ready…
The Big Sip
The take: The US president is declaring victory in a war that's still killing people. Also, still raising your petrol prices.
What happened: Trump told a rally crowd in Hebron, Kentucky, that the US had already won the war with Iran, saying, "In the first hour it was over."
Why it matters: The same day, 32 IEA member countries unanimously agreed to release 400 million barrels of emergency oil. Largest coordinated release in the agency's history. Funny thing to need if you've already won.
What to watch: Iran is now laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The G7 is floating and escorting commercial tankers through. Will the price of oil continue to climb?
You know your position is strong when 32 countries have to crack open the emergency stash to stop the panic.
