Iran Opens Khamenei Funeral as Mourners Chant Revenge ; Tehran Warns united kingdom , France Over Hormuz
What it means
Iran's Hormuz threats following the Supreme Leader's funeral have historically been associated with immediate spikes in crude oil and gold as markets price in supply disruption risk. Defense stocks tend to benefit from heightened regional tension involving major Western powers, while broad equities face short-term risk-off pressure. The key variable is whether rhetoric escalates into actual Strait interference — historically, most Hormuz threats have not materialized into full closures.
