What it means
Trump publicly declaring the Iran ceasefire 'over' represents a genuine escalation beyond the ongoing Hormuz standoff — historically, credible signals of renewed U.S.-Iran hostilities have been associated with sharp crude oil spikes, gains in defense stocks, and a fresh safe-haven bid in gold. The ~5% oil move reported suggests the market is treating this as new information, not merely a continuation of the prior standoff.
