How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZ=F | a credible reopening proposal could remove a supply premium, while the absence of a US response leaves disruption risk intact | Mixed1-5d | Iran reportedly proposed reopening the Strait within seven days after specified US measures, but the plan remained subject to a formal US response |
| BDRY | reopening would improve vessel transit prospects, while unresolved negotiations preserve elevated disruption and freight risk | Mixed1-5d | The proposal directly concerns reopening the Strait, but no agreement was reported |
| XAUUSD | an accepted roadmap could reduce geopolitical safe-haven demand, whereas diplomatic failure would sustain it | Mixed1-5d | Iran presented a diplomatic roadmap while reporting indicated that negotiations faced serious obstacles |
