Oil prices up as ceasefire deal expires
Summary
The expired U.S.-Iran ceasefire has halted Strait of Hormuz shipping, driving oil prices up 5% and gas to record August highs, which President Trump defends as necessary to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Meanwhile, the National Indian Gaming Commission’s lack of a chairperson since January is stalling tribal casino management contracts and enforcement. This vacancy also weakens tribes’ ability to advocate against prediction markets, which they argue violate federal gaming laws and tribal sovereignty.
