WS #14644
The market is now pricing in a dual-front supply disruption scenario following OSINT confirmation of an Iranian missile attack on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and intensified Russian kinetic strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. This represents a material deterioration from the previous 'diplomatic pivot' narrative, introducing immediate supply shock risks that are weighing on broader indices and benefiting energy and defense sectors. The situation is escalating, with diplomatic channels still active but failing to de-escalate the immediate physical threats to global shipping and energy flows.
