US-Sanctioned Tanker Tests Trump's Hormuz Blockade | Daybreak Europe 4/14/2026

Bloomberg Daybreak Europe is your essential morning viewing to stay ahead. Live from London, we set the agenda for your day, catching you up with overnight markets news from the US and Asia. And we'll tell you what matters for investors in Europe, giving you insight before trading begins.

On today's show, a US-sanctioned tanker linked to China is making its way through the Strait of Hormuz, testing President Donald Trump’s naval blockade. Rich Starry was blacklisted by Washington in 2023 for helping Tehran evade energy sanctions. It's making its second attempt in 24 hours to exit the Persian Gulf.

Global stocks are rallying and oil fell on hopes of more talks between Iran and the US. US Vice President JD Vance says the ball is in Iran's court. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian says his country is prepared to continue discussions within a framework of international law.

Plus Goldman Sachs' disappointing first quarter bond- and rates-trading revenue unsettles investors ahead of earnings from Wells Fargo, Citi and JPMorgan.
