May WTI is up $3.05 (+3.06%) and May RBOB gasoline is up $0.0791 (+2.48%), with crude rallying to a three-week high after President Trump threatened to escalate action against Iran. The move reflects heightened geopolitical risk driving near-term upside and volatility in energy markets; this is sector-moving risk that could sustain price pressure if tensions escalate. Managers should consider short-dated hedges or reassess stop placement on energy exposures given elevated event risk.
