How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| CL1 | A reported attack on an LPG tanker raises the perceived risk of disruption to Gulf energy shipments. | Upintraday | The IRGC said it struck NV Sunshine in the Strait of Hormuz, while the owner disputed the incident. |
| BDTI | Higher perceived transit risk increases expected tanker compensation and voyage costs. | Up1-5d | The IRGC threatened vessels using routes it considers unauthorized, while maritime reporting described continued disruption in Hormuz. |
| LNG1 | A contested tanker incident creates exposure to LPG and regional gas logistics, but the vessel owner denied an attack and no confirmed supply loss was established. | Watch1-5d | Iranian and vessel-owner accounts directly conflict over whether NV Sunshine was hit or damaged. |
