Exclusive: Supreme Leader says enriched uranium must stay in Iran - https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/supreme-leader-says-enriched-uranium-must-stay-iran-iranian-sources-say-2026-05-21/

*DUBAI - Iran's Supreme Leader has issued a directive that the country's near-weapons-grade uranium should not be sent abroad, two senior Iranian sources said, hardening Tehran's stance on one of the main U.S. demands ​at peace talks.*

So, what will Dear Leader say now?

In the meanwhile, oil prices start heading higher, with Brent at $107 again ….

As of April 27, 2026, Goldman Sachs significantly raised its oil price forecasts due to severe Middle East supply shocks. The firm boosted its Q4 2026 Brent crude projection to US$90 per barrel (from US$80 previously) and WTI to US$83 per barrel (from US$75), driven by major production losses.

Some may say even GS’ new oil price projections are still too conservative, given the huge destruction of supply seen todate from closure of the Hormuz Straits. And haven’t even factor possible loss of supply if the Red Sea is closed for a few weeks too.

However, at least the energy markets are factoring in the likelihood of not seeing pre-war crude oil price levels again in 2026. Can’t say the same about the stock markets
