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

| BRENT CRUDE | An asserted U.S.-protected route reduces the immediate probability of a complete Hormuz closure. | Downintraday | CENTCOM said the primary shipping lanes had been cleared of mines and remained open to commercial traffic. |
| BDTI | Improved stated naval protection can reduce some war-risk and delay premia for tanker operators. | Down1-5d | CENTCOM said U.S. forces were patrolling and keeping the main routes open. |
| LMT | A sustained U.S. maritime-security operation supports demand for defense, surveillance and force-protection capabilities. | Up1-4w | CENTCOM said more than 50,000 U.S. service members were supporting Middle East operations and that U.S. forces remained on patrol. |
