Iran said it would open the Strait of Hormuz for the duration of a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, signaling a temporary easing in Middle East tensions. The announcement lowers immediate disruption risk to a critical global oil chokepoint, but also underscores how quickly energy and shipping flows could be affected if the truce collapses. Markets are likely to view this as a high-impact geopolitical development with implications for crude prices, freight, and regional risk assets.
