Oil surged past $100 a barrel for the first time in two months as the Iran conflict entered its 13th consecutive night of U.S. strikes, sending the S&P 500 down 1.2% and the Nasdaq 100 down nearly 2% in their worst session in a month. Fed funds futures now price an 80%+ chance of a September rate hike, up from 52% a week ago. Alphabet raised its 2026 AI capex forecast to $195-205 billion even as tech stocks led the selloff, and confirmed its most ambitious Gemini 4 pre-training run yet. Plus: a full MLB slate, WNBA All-Star weekend, and a wildfire smoke air quality alert across parts of North America.
