Trump's Hormuz Blockade Sends Oil Soaring; Samsung Explores US ADR Listing | The Pulse 7/14/2026
Brent crude rose above $85 a barrel for the first time in a month after President Donald Trump reinstated the US blockade of Iranian ships
Brent crude rose above $85 a barrel for the first time in a month after President Donald Trump reinstated the US blockade of Iranian ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz and demanded a 20% reimbursement for all other cargo shipped through the waterway. Bloomberg has learned Samsung is in the early stages of exploring a potential offering of American depositary receipts. Sources say the company has held preliminary discussions with banks, but hasn’t yet made a decision about whether to proceed. Five major Wall Street banks report later today, kicking off earnings season with a bang.
A global surge in deals and IPOs is expected to drive blockbuster results, as volatility from the ongoing US-Iran conflict fuels equity-trading revenues.
