What it means
A credible Western naval commitment to securing Hormuz transit has historically been associated with an unwinding of the crude oil risk premium built around supply-disruption fears, which can also soften gold's safe-haven bid. Broad equities may see a modest risk-on lift, though the French carrier heading home signals this is a managed de-escalation rather than a full resolution — limiting the magnitude of any moves.
