Happy Monday. Turns out one of the biggest winners at last month’s Academy Awards might have been Kodak<\/a>, whose film was used to shoot “One Battle After Another” and “Sinners.” Here’s how a self-proclaimed “turnaround specialist” rebuilt the company \u2014 and took it to the Oscars.<\/a><\/p>\n

Stock futures<\/a> are lower this morning after all three indexes posted their best week in months<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are five key things investors need to know to start the trading day:<\/p>\n

1. No deal<\/p>\n

Oil prices<\/a> are sharply higher after President Donald Trump said yesterday that the U.S. will blockade the Strait of Hormuz<\/a>. The move came after U.S. and Iranian officials failed to come to an agreement<\/a> during peace talks in Pakistan over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Here’s what to know:<\/p>\n

Vice President JD Vance, who led the U.S. delegation to Islamabad, said Sunday that the Iran’s refusal to end its pursuit of nuclear weapons was the key sticking point.Following Trump’s announcement, U.S. Central Command confirmed in a post on X that its forces would “implement a blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports” starting at 10 a.m. ET today.Trump indicated in comments to reporters yesterday that “other nations” would help enforce the blockade, but U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said this morning that his country would not support the effort.<\/a>Crude oil prices climbed 7% this morning to re-top $100, and stock futures fell as traders saw little sign of progress in ending the Iran war.Follow live market updates here.<\/a>2.

Goldman Sachs<\/a> kicked off a big week of bank earnings this morning, posting a beat<\/a> on both the top- and bottom-lines for its first quarter. <\/p>\n

The numbers were boosted by record equities trading results and higher-than-expected revenue from its investment banking business. Still, shares of Goldman Sachs dropped more than 2% following the release, which showed disappointing trading results in its fixed-income unit.<\/p>\n

JPMorgan Chase<\/a>, Citigroup<\/a>, Wells Fargo<\/a> are set to release their quarterly reports tomorrow morning, followed by Bank of America<\/a> and Morgan Stanley<\/a> before the bell on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

3. Security check<\/p>\n

Anthropic is dominating<\/a> the artificial intelligence industry. Its new model is also making some people nervous.<\/p>\n

After the AI startup released its new Mythos model \u2014 which specializes in identifying cybersecurity flaws in software \u2014 Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with CEOs from major U.S. banks to discuss potential cyber risks<\/a> caused by Mythos.<\/p>\n

But as CNBC’s Samantha Subin reports, it wasn’t the first time members of the Trump administration reached out to the private sector with concerns. Sources told CNBC that Bessent and Vance questioned several tech CEOs \u2014 including Anthropic’s Dario Amodei \u2014 about the security of AI models before the release of Mythos.<\/a><\/p>\n

Trump attacked Pope Leo XIV<\/a> in a Truth Social post last night, calling the first U.S.-born pope “WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy” following Leo’s criticism of the U.S. war in Iran.<\/p>\n

“I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States,” Trump wrote in the post, in which he tied Leo’s ascension last year to his own re-election to the White House.<\/p>\n

The pope responded to Trump’s comments this morning, saying he will “continue to speak out loudly against war, looking to promote peace, promoting dialogue and multilateral relationships among the states to look for just solutions to problems.”<\/p>\n

5. Pedal to the metal<\/p>\n

Meet Ineos<\/a>: the automotive startup looking to revive the SUV market with what its knighted founder calls “the world’s best utilitarian 4×4.”<\/p>\n

Executives for the company exclusively told CNBC that it will today release record order numbers for its flagship vehicle during the first quarter. <\/p>\n

“We’re running it for success. We’re running it for profitability,” Ineos CEO Lynn Calder said, adding that the company is aiming to break even this year \u2014 what would be a rare feat for an auto startup.<\/p>\n

Ineos is particularly focused on the U.S. market, with goals to increase its sales by roughly 30% to 35% annually. Calder said the company might even add a factory in the U.S., which would spare Ineos from tariffs.<\/p>\n
