Overnight in geopolitical news, the US and UK conducted airstrikes against Houthi rebel targets in Yemen. The military actions were a response to the Houthi rebels’ attacks on ships in the Red Sea since November. As per expectations, the Houthi deputy foreign minister warned that the US and UK will “pay a heavy price” for what they describe as “blatant aggression.” Both Iran’s foreign ministry and the Iran-backed Lebanese armed group Hezbollah have condemned the airstrikes. The Houthis have said they will continue targeting Israel-linked ships in the Red Sea. President Biden hinted at the possibility of additional measures to protect international commerce and US interests. The news has led to a spike in oil prices today with crude oil up over 3.5%.
