How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZ=F | A credible path to reopening Hormuz would reduce supply-disruption premia, but the absence of an agreement leaves immediate risk elevated. | Mixed1-5d | Araghchi said the proposal remained available, while reporting stated that no agreement to implement it had been announced. |
| BDTI | Reopening could lower route and insurance costs, but continued uncertainty supports elevated freight volatility. | Mixed1-5d | The proposal conditions reopening on US concessions and a future negotiation sequence. |
| DXY | De-escalation could reduce safe-haven dollar demand, while failure of the proposal could strengthen it. | Mixed1-5d | The proposal remains conditional and Washington has not accepted an agreed reopening framework. |
