🚨 The Strait of Hormuz is becoming a bigger market risk.
Over the past 48 hours, tensions between the US and Iran have escalated sharply.
🇺🇸 CENTCOM says it redirected 92 commercial vessels and struck three Iranian crude tankers, destroying one.
🇮🇷 Iran says it hit several tankers and US-linked assets, while warning that a restricted zone outside Hormuz could be introduced in the coming days.
And traders are already feeling the impact:
🛢️ Brent → ~$97, up ~7.6% this week
🛢️ WTI → >$92, up ~9%
With roughly 20% of global oil historically moving through Hormuz, any further disruption could keep the risk premium elevated.
For traders, the key now is simple: watch the next headline. A ceasefire could unwind the move quickly, while another strike could push oil toward $100+.
⚠️ Volatility is likely to stay high. Trade small and respect risk.
