Oil prices continued to fall for the second consecutive session due to a risk-off sentiment in the markets, despite escalating attacks on ships near Yemen. Brent and West Texas Intermediate prices dropped even though two vessels were attacked, one abandoned and the other damaged. The broader markets saw Asian equities falling as well, with the dollar holding near a high since November, making commodities more expensive. However, the oil market remains supported by a deficit in the third quarter and positive speculator sentiment as summer approaches.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated in an interview on June 23 that while he is open to Hamas releasing some hostages, he will not accept any ceasefire agreement that requires Israel to stop the Gaza conflict. Despite U.S. claims that Israel's negotiation proposal would be the main path to a ceasefire, Netanyahu and other Israeli officials have vowed to continue the war until Hamas is eliminated, rejecting Biden's ceasefire proposal. Netanyahu also rejected the idea of Palestinian Authority governing Gaza in place of Hamas, indicating Israel's intentions to effectively occupy Gaza. Israeli forces are soon expected to deploy to the northern border for defense purposes, with Netanyahu prioritizing staying in power over national interests, according to analysis and recent ICJ rulings criticizing Israel's actions in Gaza.
