What it means
A formal U.S. war notification to Congress and a resumed shipping blockade near the Strait of Hormuz represent a genuine escalation step beyond prior signals, historically associated with a fresh spike in crude oil prices, a lift in defense stocks, and stronger safe-haven demand for gold. These moves extend rather than repeat prior calls because the formal legal posture and blockade order add new information the market must reprice. This is informational analysis, not investment advice. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
