Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has signaled a willingness to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, contingent on U.S. concessions. This diplomatic pivot has caused Brent crude to fall below $105, reversing the previous supply shock fears. The relief rally has lifted global risk assets, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all opening higher as Treasury yields eased. This development significantly dampens the bearish thesis on energy-dependent sectors like airlines and shipping, while also reducing the inflationary pressure previously associated with an oil supply crisis.
