Good morning and welcome back to the City AM liveblog.<\/p>\n

Markets were not getting too excited at the beginning of this week when Donald Trump said a peace deal with Iran was \u201cvery close\u201d.<\/p>\n

And last night\u2019s exchange of strikes might explain why. The US has said its completed a series of strikes against Iran in response to its claim that Iran had launched a drone attack on a helicopter resulting in a rescue mission for two members.<\/p>\n

The US has framed its strikes as \u201ca proportional response\u201d for the helicopter downing, whilst Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) described the attacks as \u201cvicious\u201d.<\/p>\n

Neil Wilson, UK investor strategist at Saxo Markets, said: \u201cSigns of progress on US-Iran talks may have been less impactful than signs of ships navigating the Strait of Hormuz, with US energy secretary Wright saying ship tariff through the passage was increasing \u2018very meaningfully\u2019. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut then we\u2019ve had a downed US helicopter and \u2018defensive\u2019 retaliation and it suddenly doesn\u2019t look so great a picture \u2013 yet oil prices have barely moved higher.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amidst this, markets are fighting wobbles on several fields with another tech sell-off rocking Asia overnight and US markets left closing in the red. Fresh US inflation data on Wednesday also showed a surge in consumer prices to the tune of 4.2 per cent, in another major economic blow. Wilson said the outlook looks \u201crisky and dangerous for equities\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cVolatility is back \u2013 downside moves are going to become more aggressive, forcing equity markets lower but buy-the-dip will continue to exert a powerful check on the downside moves,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be bringing you the latest reaction to these moves and more.<\/p>\n
