How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |

| DXY | Stalled diplomacy and renewed geopolitical uncertainty can increase demand for dollar liquidity and safe-haven assets. | Up1-5d | The reported proposal was rejected while the maritime threat environment remained elevated. |
| US10Y | A higher geopolitical-risk premium can support demand for US Treasuries as a defensive asset. | Watch1-5d | Negotiations remained stalled after Washington rejected the proposed conditions for reopening Hormuz. |
