Oil futures declined after a spike due to stalled reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. NextEra Energy is set to acquire Dominion Energy for $67 billion, creating a major East Coast utility. The ongoing Iran conflict is driving up oil prices and depleting U.S. inventories. Canada has finalized a carbon-tax deal, and the House passed an ethanol bill, though its future in the Senate is uncertain. Global oil inventories are rapidly decreasing, raising concerns about future supply.
