"Insider Whale 1011" Agent: Geopolitical conflicts may drive up oil prices and market volatility; proactive strategies are needed.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Garrett Jin, the agent of “1011 Insider Whales,” posted on platform X, stating that Trump has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, demanding a full restoration of passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The situation has clearly escalated, and he summarized that this move will have three key impacts: first, the diplomatic buffer has been broken, and the previously low-profile negotiations between Iran and Japan regarding the sequential passage of vessels may be terminated; second, the nature of the conflict has escalated; if attacks expand to civilian infrastructure such as electricity, it will strengthen Iran’s position and increase the probability of a prolonged war; third, oil market volatility has surged, and market misalignment has intensified, with the crude oil volatility index OVX rising to 93, while the Chicago Board Options Exchange volatility index VIX is around 24. The ratio of the two is close to 4 times, indicating that oil market risks far exceed stock market pricing. Overall, oil prices and market volatility may continue to rise, with expectations for the duration of the conflict extending.
