How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BRENT CRUDE | sanctions raise the probability of tighter export flows from Iran and trade-partner friction | Up1-5d | Reuters said the U.S. was preparing more sanctions on Iran and crude moved on the announcement risk |
| WTI CRUDE | expected sanctions support a supply-risk premium in U.S. and global crude pricing | Up1-5d | Reuters reported WTI trading lower before the expected U.S. sanctions announcement, implying the market was positioned around that policy risk |
| DXY | risk-off dollar demand can rise if sanctions stoke broader geopolitical stress and energy inflation | Up1-5d | the new sanctions threat and Iran's retaliation rhetoric were the dominant market-moving geopolitical catalyst in the Reuters report |
