Oil prices retreating as the US and Israel try to ease concerns over the war with Iran; Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will avoid future attacks on Iranian energy facilities.

QatarEnergy says the strikes on its Ras Laffan site will cost about $20 billion a year in lost revenue and take up to five years to repair. And high energy prices are reviving fears of a global inflation shock; bond investors worldwide now rushing to price-in higher interest rates, complicating the path ahead for central banks.
