    How this development reaches the affected companies

    AssetExposure and channelDirectionEvidence
    BRN00Prospective tougher US sanctions on Iran and its trading partners raise expectations of further constraints on Iranian supply and friction in energy trade, sustaining and extending the risk premium in Brent prices.Up1-5dBaghaei’s denunciation of the sanctions and Bessent’s description of the forthcoming measures as the "toughest" yet come alongside reports of virtually halted oil shipments through Hormuz and Brent near $94 with strong weekly gains.
