US and Iran trade strikes for second night in a row
Context
Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has dropped 'dramatically' since the strikes began.
What it means
The confirmed, dramatic drop in Strait of Hormuz traffic is a genuinely new datapoint — prior signals already called crude and defense up, but the shipping collapse adds fresh upward pressure on crude and introduces a new, direct headwind for airlines via jet-fuel costs. Other assets (gold, defense, WTI) were already flagged and the move there is largely reflected in prior signals.
