With no massive escalation in Iran over the weekend, oil prices trickled only modestly higher during Asian trading hours and began to recover during European hours. Early domestic trading kept the friendly trend intact with some help from Trump comments that suggested a limited timeline for the war. That said, the rally was more of a linear trend this morning and less of a volatile reaction to any individual newswire. Econ data is in the back seat to geopolitical events. The same will generally be true for Wednesday's Fed announcement, although volatility is at least possible thanks to the dot plot and press conference (rate cut = 0% chance).
NOTE: you will never see a true 0% chance in terms of probability implied by futures contracts due to the structure of that market, but 99% = 100% and 1% = 0% for all practical purposes.
