   Oil prices dip as Trump signals brief Iran campaign

   Oil prices declined on Thursday after a three-day rally, following signals from Donald Trump that a military campaign against Iran may be brief. The dip occurs as investors weigh the uncertainty of U.S.-Iran strikes against previous price jumps driven by military action and tanker incidents. While some markets remain volatile due to geopolitical tensions, the suggestion of a limited engagement has softened the immediate upward pressure on crude prices.

   Why it matters

   Rising oil prices and Treasury yields have put pressure on Wall Street futures and the Dow. This volatility stems from an escalation in the U.S.-Iran conflict, which previously drove oil toward new highs.

   What is confirmed

   • Oil prices experienced a three-day rally before dipping.
   • Treasury yields and oil prices rose, putting pressure on Wall Street futures.

   Still unconfirmed

   • Donald Trump signaled that the Iran campaign may be brief.
   • Investors are weighing uncertainty over U.S.-Iran strikes.

   What to watch next

   • Official confirmation of the duration or scope of U.S. military operations in Iran
   • Further movements in Treasury yields and their impact on the Dow
