Oil jumped 4% in Asia, as investors reacted to a flare-up between the U.S. and Iran that put supply at risk. Brent hit above $79 a barrel for the first time in three weeks and WTI was up 4.13% to $74.36. This comes after U.S. strikes on Iran and Iranian missiles at five U.S. allies. Iran said it closed the Strait of Hormuz, but the U.S. pushed back on that.
