đŸ’„ BREAKING: Strait of Hormuz Incident

đŸ‡źđŸ‡· Iranian armed gunships allegedly attempted to seize a US-linked oil tanker in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

📊 Why it matters:

‱ Strait handles ~20% of global oil flows

‱ Escalation → higher energy risk premiums

‱ Shipping insurance & freight costs spike

‱ Markets react to threat perception, not confirmation

⚠ This narrow chokepoint can reprice oil, inflation, and risk assets almost instantly.
