Executive Summary
The last 24 hours reveals a market architecture defined by a divergence between institutional stability and geopolitical volatility.

Following an executive “shoot and kill” directive against Iranian maritime assets, the Strait of Hormuz faces a potential six-month paralysis due to naval mining operations.
