Iran Resumes Attacks In Strait Of Hormuz
What it means
Renewed Iranian military activity in the Strait of Hormuz has historically been associated with sharp spikes in crude oil prices, as the strait carries roughly one-fifth of global seaborne oil. Safe-haven assets like gold tend to rise alongside, while defense stocks often see medium-term gains as tensions escalate. Broad equity markets may also face short-term risk-off pressure, though the direct impact concentrates most visibly in energy and defense.
