Trump said the US will "leave Iran soon" and called on allies to seize the Strait of Hormuz — a direct escalation with immediate market implications. That rhetoric could trigger an oil-price shock, plausibly lifting Brent by $3–$10/bbl and spurring risk-off flows into Treasuries and the dollar; regional credit/shipping insurance spreads could widen by roughly 20–80 bps. Monitor energy names, shipping/insurance, Gulf sovereign risk and safe-haven asset flows closely.
