Trump Just Made A New Announcement
In a Nutshell
Trump claims the US moved record oil through the Strait of Hormuz despite Iranian closure, mine-laying, and seizure of a second US drone, while satellite imagery shows no vessels currently in the waterway. US oil reserves remain near 40-50 year lows even as markets trade near all-time highs with 66.6% odds of a Fed rate cut on October 28th. Nano Bank became the sixth US bank failure in 2026, with the speaker recommending cash positions over shorting as markets approach overbought levels.

President Trump announced that the US moved a record amount of oil through the Strait of Hormuz last night, exceeding pre-war levels. This statement comes despite ongoing tension between Iran and the US. Trump is known for announcing deals on Sundays before futures open, and this timing follows Iran's 7-day ceasefire proposal from Thursday to Friday morning, which Trump rejected after market hours on Friday.
Despite Trump's claims, tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is down 99% since pre-war levels. Iran's IRGC released a video showing they seized a second US military underwater drone in the Strait following an intelligence surveillance and electronic warfare operation. Iran announced they struck 19 vessels in the Strait over the past two nights, with 7 vessels targeted last night and 12 the night prior. The vessels were reportedly transiting through unauthorized routes in the US-backed southern Omani quarter without Iran's permission.
Iran spent two nights laying mines in the quarter. Satellite imagery from Centennial 2 shows no vessels currently visible in the waterway, indicating Iran is enforcing its closure. The largest attack on shipping of the war occurred within this timeframe.
Trump is attempting to provide reassurance that enough oil has moved through the Strait to prevent market overreaction. The speaker questions how US oil reserves remain at one of the lowest levels in 40-50 years despite the claimed Venezuela oil deal. Trump stated he would top off oil reserves, but this has not occurred weeks later.
Tuesday: September consumer confidence data report. August JOLTS report, which will heavily impact the Fed rate monitor tool. The next Federal Reserve meeting is October 28th, with current odds at 66.6% for a rate decision.
Wednesday: August PCE inflation data report, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure. Q2 2026 GDP data report. ISM manufacturing PMI.
Thursday: September job reports.
Friday: 22 Fed speaker events scheduled.
Nano Bank became the sixth US bank to fail in 2026 after shutting down over 25% of its loans, mostly tied to commercial real estate. This follows the pattern seen with Silicon Valley Bank, though not to the same degree.
Markets are trading near all-time highs despite uncertainty. Trump is attempting to shift sentiment by claiming record oil movement as a way to calm oil and bond markets. The speaker advises against shorting for beginners due to greater risk, recommending staying in cash and waiting for deals to buy the dip instead.
Markets are reaching overbought levels based on previous patterns, creating pullback potential. However, market sentiment and direction are crucial factors. AI companies are thriving while other sectors fall behind, with the average American feeling economic pressure. The speaker notes that markets can stay irrational longer than investors can stay solvent, emphasizing the importance of being intentional and calculated rather than hoping short positions work out.
