U.S.–Iran military clashes intensify around Strait of Hormuz, hitting tankers and bases
Question
U.S.–Iran military clashes intensify around Strait of Hormuz, hitting tankers and bases
Direct answer
Escalation at a key oil chokepoint drives risk‑on in crude, pushing WTI (CLQ26/CLU26) towards US$82–83 and Brent (BRN26) above US$89, and widens risk premia in Gulf FX such as USDIRR (offshore indications) while weighing on global risk proxies like ES futures.
