In the uneasy arithmetic of global markets, a modest retreat in oil prices offered little comfort against the backdrop of a diplomatic impasse that shows no sign of resolution. U.S. stock futures climbed on the strength of technology earnings, yet crude remained more than half again its pre-war price, a persistent burden on every economy that runs on imported energy. With Washington and Tehran unable to find common ground over the Strait of Hormuz, the world's financial markets are learning to price in a prolonged disruption rather than a passing crisis.
