Tensions escalated rapidly as Iran threatened to target all Gulf ports and Trump vowed to attack approaching Iranian vessels, though the US president later claimed Tehran had reached out to revive negotiations. The unfolding energy shock is rattling global markets, raising the prospect of $150 oil, and forcing energy-dependent economies across Asia and Europe to scramble for alternatives.</p>https://macworks.dev/docs/week/bloomberg/bloomberg-2026-04-12/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://macworks.dev/docs/week/bloomberg/bloomberg-2026-04-12/<details> <summary>Sources</summary> <div class="markdown-inner"> <ul> <li><a href="https://feeds.bloomberg.com/business/news.rss">Bloomberg.com</a></li> <li><a href="https://feeds.bloomberg.com/businessweek/news.rss">Bloomberg Businessweek</a></li> <li><a href="https://feeds.bloomberg.com/citylab/news.rss">Bloomberg CityLab</a></li> <li><a href="https://feeds.bloomberg.com/crypto/news.rss">Bloomberg Crypto</a></li> <li><a href="https://feeds.bloomberg.com/economics/news.rss">Bloomberg Economics</a></li> <li><a href="https://feeds.bloomberg.com/equality/news.rss">Bloomberg Equality</a></li> <li><a href="https://feeds.bloomberg.com/green/news.rss">Bloomberg Green</a></li> <li><a href="https://feeds.bloomberg.com/industries/news.rss">Bloomberg Industries</a></li> <li><a href="https://feeds.bloomberg.com/markets/news.rss">Bloomberg Markets</a></li> <li><a href="https://feeds.bloomberg.com/bview/news.rss">Bloomberg Opinion</a></li> <li><a href="https://feeds.bloomberg.com/politics/news.rss">Bloomberg Politics</a></li> <li><a href="https://feeds.bloomberg.com/pursuits/news.rss">Bloomberg Pursuits</a></li> <li><a href="https://feeds.bloomberg.com/wealth/news.rss">Bloomberg Wealth</a></li> </ul> </div> </details> <h1 id="bloomberg--2026-04-12">Bloomberg — 2026-04-12<a class="anchor" href="#bloomberg--2026-04-12">#</a></h1> <h2 id="lead-story">Lead Story<a class="anchor" href="#lead-story">#</a></h2> <p>The US and Iran failed to reach an agreement after 21 hours of marathon talks in Islamabad, prompting President Donald Trump to announce an immediate US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday at 10 a.m. New York time. The collapse of the fragile ceasefire and the impending blockade of the critical maritime chokepoint sent oil and European natural gas prices surging, while US equity futures dropped and gold tumbled as traders braced for profound global supply disruptions.</p>
