(Source: Reuters)

📰 Details:
U.S. has begun a naval blockade of Iranian ports (April 14), following the breakdown of weekend talks, restricting maritime traffic while tensions escalate across the Gulf region. Iran condemned the move as piracy, and warned of retaliation, while Washington said the operation targets vessels entering or leaving Iranian ports amid ongoing disputes over nuclear restrictions and control of the Strait of Hormuz.

⚠️ Why It Matters
Blockading the Hormuz could lead to a major expansion of pressure on maritime activity in the Gulf

📊 Market Impact
🔹Oil prices fall below $100 on hopes of continued dialogue
🔹Global energy supply outlook clouded by Strait of Hormuz disruptions
🔹Markets turns volatile in reaction to uncertainty

⁉️Will markets calm down or price in more risk?
