Iran has submitted a conditional plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, contingent on US diplomatic concessions. This proposal has triggered a sharp decline in crude oil prices, down over 2%, and a broad rally in global equities as supply disruption fears recede. The move marks a significant de-escalation from recent Houthi strikes and airspace closures, shifting the market focus from energy supply shocks to potential diplomatic breakthroughs. Energy stocks lagged the broader market rally, while airlines and transport sectors benefited from the lower fuel outlook.
