• Iran rejected U.S. ceasefire proposals Monday as “unrealistic, illogical and excessive,” fired more missiles at Israel, and saw oil prices rise after Yemen’s Houthis joined the conflict.

• Rising oil prices have sparked inflation fears. The longer the conflict continues, the more higher energy costs will hurt consumer finances and economic growth..

• On the data front,German inflation accelerated in March, driven by surging energy prices amid the Iran war, with economists expecting further rises ahead.
