Stocks Rise as Oil Sinks On Strait of Hormuz Hopes

While traffic through Hormuz remains at a near-standstill amid the Iran war, US crude settled at $93.50 as a trickle of vessels started to find a way through the oil route. Racquel Oden, US Head of Wealth and Private Banking at HSBC joins to discuss how the markets may react to headlines in the short term, but over time they follow earnings, and the earnings outlook remains strong.
