How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |

| STNG | Reduced near-term mine risk can lower war-risk and disruption premia embedded in tanker operations. | Down1-5d | CENTCOM said shipping lanes had been cleared and commercial vessels continued transiting with U.S. support. |
| BDRY | Improved passage conditions can ease extraordinary freight-rate pressure on dry-bulk and shipping exposure. | Down1-5d | CENTCOM reported sustained commercial transits through the strait after lane-clearing operations. |
| CL1! | Lower immediate chokepoint-disruption risk removes part of the crude supply premium. | Downintraday | The U.S. military reported cleared lanes and ongoing supported commercial traffic through Hormuz. |
