Iran regained control of the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend, while the US seized a ship and Tehran fired on vessels in the area, escalating tensions in a critical global energy chokepoint. The developments deepen the global energy crisis and raise the risk of disruption to oil flows, shipping lanes, and commodity prices. Market impact is likely broad-based and immediate, with a strong risk-off impulse across energy and transport-sensitive assets.
