Trump Repeats Iran Threats, Bessent Believes Strait Will Reopen

Trump reiterated threats against Iran, raising near-term geopolitical risk tied to the Strait of Hormuz. Strategist Bessent said he expects the strait will reopen, which would cap sustained oil-price shocks and broader supply-chain disruption. Near-term market reaction is likely risk-off with upside pressure on oil and energy names while reopening expectations limit a protracted market shock.
