#StreetAccount Update: Trump may consider occupying Kharg Island, reopening Hormuz remains a top priority: • Big Iran story this morning seems to be report Trump administration considering taking over Iran's Kharg Island crude export facility as a means to pressure Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz (Axios). Notes operation could involve boots on the ground (an idea Trump pushed back against yesterday; see NY Times) and could require another month of further weakening the Iranian military. • Energy remains the critical focus given the ongoing Hormuz closure and recent Iranian attacks on Mideast oil infrastructure. Saudi Arabia said its base case sees crude moving above $180/barrel if disruptions extend beyond late April (link). Reports this morning US deploying helicopters and low-flying jets in operation to help reopen the strait (link) while a team of UK military planners meeting with US Central Command to evaluate options for the waterway (NY Times). • Also much debate in the press about divergent strategies between US and Israel after Israeli strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure (NY Times, Politico, Washington Post), though Israel's Netanyahu said his country would honor Trump's request not to target Iranian energy sites (CNN). • Meanwhile, Iran carrying out more strikes against regional targets. Bloomberg reports Kuwait has closed its Al Ahmadi refinery after multiple strikes while the UAE and Saudi Arabia both intercepted missiles overnight. Through a spokesman, Iran's new supreme leader said his country's enemies should have their "security" taken away (AP). #StraitOfHormuz #KhargIsland #Iran #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #Energy #Oil #Security #Defense #CrudeOil #USMilitary #Trump Gain immediate access to unparalleled insights with #StreetAccount: bit.ly/3xqrpo7

#StreetAccount Summary - U.S. Market Recap: Dow (1.63%), S&P 500 (1.36%), Nasdaq (1.46%), Russell 2000 (1.64%) Synopsis • US equities were lower in Wednesday trading as stocks ended near session lows.

Other laggards included precious metals miners, copper and aluminum, staples, software, medtech, cruise lines, payments, homebuilders, housing-linked retail, QSRs, media, and toys. Outperformers included energy, ag chemicals, memory, semis, A&D, department stores, casinos, PE, networking/IT equipment, and E&Cs.

Bitcoin futures down 4.5%. WTI crude settled down 1.1%, though has since turned positive, while Brent settled up 3.8%, above $107/barrel. • Market on the defensive following two straight days of gains in which geopolitical tensions seemed to matter less despite a continued lack of de-escalation signals and concerns about extended energy constraints. Stocks initially lower following attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure, subsequent threats from Tehran about retaliation against Gulf energy sites (and late afternoon report of missile strike on Qatari LNG export plant), along with hotter February PPI. Both dynamics worked to snap a big two-day rally in Treasuries. FOMC developments largely in line with expectations, though stocks fell to session lows on hawkish takeaways from Powell press conference. The Chair noted concern that inflation pressures could last longer than expected, that fewer people calling for aggressive easing, and said he may stay on Fed board, which could add to hawkish tilt to voter composition. • No surprise as Fed left rates unchanged at 3.5-3.75% and statement highlighted uncertainty surrounding developments in the Middle East. Miran the only dissent after some previews mentioned the possibility of as many as three officials favoring a rate cut. Median dot continued to reflect one 25 bp rate cut in both 2026 and 2027. In press conference, Powell said some of oil shock will show up in core inflation soon, progress on tariff inflation may take more time. Also played down SEP projections given geopolitical uncertainties, said he has not decided if he will continue as governor after Chair term ends. February core PPI hotter than expected, up 0.5%, while annualized core highest since Jan-25 and 3m annualized pace highest since May-22. Goods prices up most since Aug-23. January factory orders in line. • NVDA resuming manufacturing of chips for China. FT said MSFT considering legal action against AMZN and OpenAI over their $50B cloud deal. AMZN reportedly planning to sharply cut number of packages it ships through USPS. BABA raising prices for AI computing and storage products amid elevated demand. TCEHY posted fifth straight Q of double-digit growth. GIS fiscal Q3 EPS light on softer margin performance. JBL fiscal Q2 ahead and raised FY guidance. WSM beat, said tariff impact to be 1H frontload. LULU Q4 ahead and some positive takeaways surrounding product newness response and full-price demand though core US business still soft and FY26 EPS guidance below on difficult margin setup. DOCU Q4 and FY27 guide ahead with takeaways positive on IAM ramp and $2B buyback announcement. HQY Q4 beat and raised FY27 revenue guidance. M higher after its Q4 beat and while FY26 EPS guide a bit light, bar seemed low.
