What it means
The U.S. military escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz is a continuation of the ongoing Hormuz closure-risk situation already covered in prior signals. The market has had 40 days to price in elevated tension and the U.S. military presence — this headline confirms the status quo rather than introducing a new escalation or de-escalation. No genuinely new market-moving information is present.
