| BRENT | removal of mine risk lowers the immediate probability of a shipping disruption premium | Downintraday | Trump said all mines had been removed or detonated in international waters of the Strait of Hormuz |

| DEFENSE STOCKS | the warning signals continued military enforcement and elevated demand for security capabilities | Upintraday | Trump said any ship or boat placing new mines would be destroyed |
| GOLD | lower perceived immediate chokepoint risk reduces safe-haven demand | Downintraday | the statement removed an explicit mine threat from the strait |
| DXY | easing of acute geopolitical stress can trim safe-haven dollar demand | Downintraday | Trump framed the area as cleared of mines and issued a deterrent warning rather than announcing fresh strikes |
