How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZ=F | A credible reopening framework could release constrained supply, while stalled negotiations would sustain the disruption premium. | Mixed1-5d | Araqchi said the plan remained available but negotiations had stalled over US objections to Iran's conditions. |
| DXY | De-escalation could reduce safe-haven dollar demand, while continued disruption could increase it. | Mixed1-5d | The proposal concerns reopening a waterway carrying roughly one-fifth of global oil and LNG trade, but no US acceptance was reported. |
| GC=F | Successful talks could reduce geopolitical safe-haven demand, whereas failure would support haven buying. | Mixed1-5d | The reopening plan remained unresolved and the waterway continued to face attacks and reduced traffic. |
