What it means
This is the 7th consecutive night of US strikes in an ongoing conflict — the Strait of Hormuz risk premium, defense bid, and safe-haven flows were already priced into prior signals over the past three weeks. A continued pattern of nightly strikes, while serious, adds no new information beyond what markets have already had 21 days to absorb. Without a genuine escalation (a new actor, a physical chokepoint closure, or a surprise policy shift), these moves are already reflected in current prices.
