Global stocks eased after the initial U.S.-Iran deal rally as investors waited for more details on the agreement and whether it would materially increase tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The key market focus is on potential implications for shipping flows and oil supply risk, which could affect energy and transport markets. Near-term sentiment is cautious and headline-driven rather than decisively risk-on.
