 Markets in Turmoil: 3 Reasons Why Your Business Must Automate Today Tuesday morning, May 5, 2026. Here’s what my dashboards show: 1️⃣ Oil — four-year high. Brent touched $126 intraday, WTI settled at $105 after a +4% surge. Escalation between the US and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz — direct risks to logistics, energy, and the entire supply chain. 2️⃣ Dow Jones — down 557 points. S&P 500 fell 0.4%, Nasdaq 0.2%. Markets retreat from record highs under geopolitical pressure. 10-year Treasury yield — 4.456%, highest since July 2025. 3️⃣ Gold — $4,500, but under pressure. Rising energy prices fuel inflation, meaning the Fed won’t ease policy anytime soon. What does this mean for your business? Manual processes = vulnerability.
