Open Interest 3/19/2026

Get a jump start on the US trading day with Matt Miller and Dani Burger on "Bloomberg Open Interest." Oil and gas surge as attacks rock the Gulf—while Washington signals a possible shift on Iranian crude. President Trump distances the US from Israel’s strike on Iran’s key gas field. And central bankers sound cautious—Powell says it’s too soon to gauge the fallout, and the ECB’s Christine Lagarde says The bank is well placed to deal with growing dangers from the war in Iran after holding interest rates unchanged for a sixth meeting. Bloomberg Open Interest breaks down what it all means for markets with Goldman’s Peter Oppenheimer, and the global power stakes with foreign policy expert Leslie Vinjamui.
