[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+2.2%), Nasdaq Composite (+2.6%), and DJIA (+2.3%) have given back some of their early strength following reports that the passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz has been stopped because of Israeli attacks on Lebanon (home of the Iranian proxy Hezbollah). President Trump said Lebanon wasn't included in the original deal, but it will be "taken care of," according to CNBC.
Crude oil is off its earlier lows, currently down $17.59 (-15.6%) to $95.22 per barrel.
