Iran has submitted a peace proposal to the US aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global energy. This diplomatic development has triggered a 1.4% decline in oil prices to $105, significantly dampening the risk of an immediate supply shock. While the US Senate has rejected a resolution to end military involvement, the market is pricing in a de-escalation scenario, benefiting energy stocks that were previously pressured by war-risk premiums.
