US expands secondary Iran sanctions as Brent settles at $US92.17 and WTI at $US85.01

AI Market Summary
The US expanded secondary sanctions aimed at isolating Iran's financial and export channels, including oil, shipping and gold, raising headline geopolitical risk. However, crude markets reacted weakly, with Brent and WTI settling more than $2/bbl lower as traders focused on positioning and broader macro signals. The mixed cross-asset backdrop (softer long yields, stronger USD, tech-driven equity weakness) suggests limited immediate risk premium passthrough to energy.
