How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZ=F | An official assertion that the waterway is open and oil flows are near prewar levels reduces the perceived probability of an outright supply interruption. | Downintraday | Rubio said oil flows through Hormuz had recovered to almost their prewar level. |
| TD3C | A perception of restored access to Hormuz can reduce the scarcity premium on tanker capacity. | Downintraday | Rubio said the strait was open, although maritime sources reported continuing attacks and harassment. |
| GC=F | Lower perceived escalation risk reduces demand for geopolitical hedges. | Downintraday | Rubio publicly characterized Iranian control of the waterway as lost and described oil flows as largely restored. |
