TRUMP REJECTS IRAN’S HORMUZ PEACE PLAN, EXPECTS BOMBING COULD RESUME AFTER MIDTERMS — WSJ President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and halt regional fighting within seven days, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing unnamed U.S. officials. Trump has told aides he expects U.S. bombing of Iran could resume after November’s midterm elections, according to the report. Iran says it is still awaiting an official U.S. response. Why markets care: renewed military escalation threatens Hormuz energy flows, oil prices and global inflation.

FED PLANS TO EASE OVERSIGHT FOR LARGE BANKS The Fed is preparing to raise asset thresholds that trigger tougher bank regulation, Reuters reports. The highest threshold could rise from $700 billion to around $960 billion, while some requirements starting at $100 billion could shift closer to $150 billion. The changes would give regional banks more room to grow without additional regulatory costs and could unlock a new wave of bank M&A.
