How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZ=F | Unresolved negotiations preserve the risk premium on crude supply routed through Hormuz. | Up1-5d | Araghchi said talks continued while Iran tied reopening the strait to conditions including sanctions relief and an end to the blockade. |
| DXY | Persistent Middle East supply risk can support demand for the dollar as a defensive currency. | Upintraday | The negotiations remained unresolved and reopening Hormuz was conditional. |
| ZB=F | Higher energy prices can reinforce inflation concerns and reduce expectations for near-term rate relief. | Down1-5d | The talks did not produce an announced reopening of Hormuz, leaving oil-supply risk elevated. |
