      Oil Prices Reach Six-Week High Amid Ongoing US-Iran Conflict

      Oil prices surged to a near six-week high as hostilities between the United States and Iran escalated, with no signs of a ceasefire. The conflict has expanded beyond its initial flashpoints, as Kuwaiti air defenses engaged Iranian ballistic missiles and drones. On September 1, US Central Command confirmed strikes on Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities in Iran, targeting air defense, radar, naval, and mine-laying sites in response to attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and US personnel.

      The US military's actions included the first strikes on Iranian government tankers under a newly implemented 'tanker for tanker' policy, which involved hitting two state-owned vessels among approximately 100 total targets. A senior US official stated that these strikes have degraded Iran's attack capabilities, resulting in a month of reduced threat levels for commercial shipping in the region.

      In related economic news, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand raised its cash rate, indicating potential for further increases if energy-driven inflation persists. Meanwhile, Australia's second quarter GDP growth exceeded expectations, prompting speculation about additional tightening from the Reserve Bank of Australia. These developments contributed to a decline in Japanese and South Korean equities, as rising oil prices and bond yields pressured market sentiment.
