US Pentagon is likely to trim its Iran wall funding request, according to WSJ citing Senator Coons who is the top democrat on the Senate appropriations defence committee

This may lead to adjustments in energy markets, particularly oil, as any decrease in military considerations could influence supply dynamics. Traders should watch for market reactions in commodities, particularly WTI, as well as potential impacts on risk sentiment across asset classes.
