Asian shares reversed gains at the start Thursday, falling more than 1.4% and US equity-index futures retreated 1% as Trump spoke about the attacks in an address to the nation. Treasuries fell with the yield on the benchmark 10-year rising four basis points to 4.36%. Brent crude oil jumped 4.2% to above $105 a barrel.
Oil jumps over 4% after Trump's speech
Oil prices jumped by more than $4 on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States would continue its attacks on Iran, including targeting energy and oil facilities, over the coming weeks without setting a clear timeline for ending the war, Reuters reported.
Brent crude futures rose $4.88, or 4.8%, to $106.04 per barrel by 0200 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were up $4.17, or 4.2%, to $104.29 per barrel.
Trump tries to sell why war is necessary
The president said at the top of his address that he wanted to "discuss why Operation Epic Fury is necessary for the safety of America and the security of the free world," showing that part of the goal for Wednesday's speech was to take on the confusion that has persisted as he and his administration have shifted their reasons for launching the mission and its objectives, AP reported.
But Wednesday night, Trump did not offer any new explanations.
He maintained that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, calling such a prospect "an intolerable threat."
Though he and his administration insisted that the US and Israel obliterated Iran's nuclear program in strikes last summer, he said Wednesday that Iran sought to rebuild its nuclear program after those strikes at a new different location. He did not offer details but said it indicated Iran was not backing away from its nuclear ambitions. He also said Iran was building a vast arsenal of ballistic missiles that were a threat to America's homeland, AP reported.
