President Trump has given Iran until Tuesday to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, raising the risk of disruption to a chokepoint that handles roughly 20% of global seaborne oil flows. Expect increased risk-off pressure: energy prices and related stocks could move meaningfully (energy names ~1-3%) and Brent/WTI futures could swing by a few dollars per barrel, with elevated volatility across EM, shipping and transportation sectors.
