How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZ=F | A credible ceasefire track and potential reopening of Hormuz reduce the expected duration of supply disruption and geopolitical risk premium. | Downintraday | Iran said it received a U.S. response to a proposal linking a seven-day ceasefire with phased reopening of the strait. |
| DHT | A prospective reopening of Hormuz reduces the scarcity value of tanker capacity exposed to Gulf disruption. | Down1-5d | The proposal explicitly links reciprocal steps to reopening the strategic energy route. |
| GLD | Diplomatic progress reduces demand for gold as a geopolitical hedge. | Downintraday | Iranian officials confirmed receipt of a U.S. counterproposal rather than reporting a breakdown of the diplomatic channel. |
