UAE sends letter to the US, Silver posts the highest daily move in 18 years, while Henry Hub jumped nearly 40% intraday! Meanwhile, freight remains elevated!

The pushback has started, and it is public! Today, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a formal statement reaffirming that the Emirates will not allow its “airspace, territory, or waters to be used in any hostile military actions against Iran”.
