Lightly browned and well buttered. A solid pick from the rack.
Summary
Traders have revised their expectations for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, now seeing a higher probability it will remain disrupted until the end of the year or even 2027, rather than reopening before August as previously anticipated. This shift follows renewed military hostilities between Iran and Israel, including missile attacks and strikes on strategic defense systems. Former President Trump also suggested the strait could remain blocked through Labor Day.
