Oil: Strait of Hormuz reopening eases stress – BNY

BNY’s Bob Savage reports that the U.S.-Iran agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz has significantly reduced immediate energy supply risks. This geopolitical de-escalation has lowered energy market stress and helped calm inflation concerns. While the backdrop is more positive for Oil, markets still weigh central bank policy, global growth trends and capital flow dynamics.

Energy risk premium compresses

"Markets have rallied sharply following the announcement of a U.S.-Iran agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz."

"This has reduced the immediate energy supply risks and supported a broad risk-on move across equities, bonds and currencies."

"The U.S.-Iran ceasefire framework and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz have reduced energy market stress, boosted equities and calmed inflation concerns."
