Standstill in the Strait of Hormuz, new inflation data, Warsh's Senate hearing and more in Morning Squawk
Oil prices drop amid ceasefire complications.
U.S. oil prices have fallen below $100 as tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains nearly halted, despite a ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran. This situation has contributed to a decline in oil prices, while inflation data shows a year-over-year increase of 2.8% in personal consumption expenditures, highlighting ongoing economic pressures. Additionally, Kevin Warsh's Senate hearing for the Federal Reserve chair position has been delayed due to missing documentation, although it is expected to take place shortly.
