How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BDTI | Threats to pursue vessels beyond the strait increase the risk premium demanded by tanker owners and operators. | Up1-5d | The IRGC said unauthorized-route vessels could be pursued throughout the region and that companies could face punitive measures. |
| CL1 | Broader threats to shipping routes increase the perceived probability of interruptions to Gulf crude transport. | Up1-5d | Iran linked punitive action to vessels following routes supported by the United States. |
| XAUUSD | Expanded maritime and sanctions risk can increase demand for gold as a geopolitical hedge. | Up1-5d | Iran threatened commercial vessels and shipping companies across the wider region rather than limiting the warning to the strait. |
