Corresponding source evidence
Brent crude rose to a six- week high of US$98/bbl following tit-for-tat strikes between the US and Iran over the weekend, before paring gains on reports that Iran may be nearing a temporary accord with Oman to manage shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
On the data front, Germany's industrial production unexpectedly contracted by 1.1% MoM in July (vs. consensus: 0.2% MoM), marking the largest decline in nearly a year, likely due to temporary plant shutdowns.
Meanwhile, June's reading was also revised lower by 0.2 percentage points.
