How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BRENT CRUDE FUTURES | Conditional reopening of Hormuz leaves the risk of prolonged disruption to oil transit intact. | Up1-5d | Iranian officials said reopening the strait depended on meeting Tehran's conditions. |
| VLCC FREIGHT RATES | Uncertainty over safe Hormuz transit increases demand for scarce and longer alternative routes. | Up1-4w | Reuters reported the strait's reopening remained tied to unresolved US-Iran demands. |
| GOLD FUTURES | Persistent uncertainty over the war and energy chokepoint supports defensive demand. | Up1-5d | Iran remained open to diplomacy while the two sides were still divided over how to end the war. |
