The US and Iran clashed near the Strait of Hormuz, heightening the risk of a broader escalation and threatening an already fragile ceasefire. The confrontation comes as both sides discuss a permanent end to the war, but the immediate effect is increased geopolitical risk for energy flows and regional stability. Markets would likely treat this as a risk-off shock given the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz.
