Iran has pitched a seven-day roadmap to end the conflict with the US, specifically offering to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by October 31. This development acts as a direct counter-signal to the previous escalation narrative, dampening the bearish energy and shipping thesis. Oil prices are retreating as the immediate supply shock risk recedes, while global equities are rallying on the prospect of normalized trade flows. This marks a critical inflection point in the Middle East crisis, shifting the market focus from war premiums to post-conflict reconstruction and energy stability.
