A Greek-operated tanker was struck by an unidentified missile in the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in one fatality and disrupting global shipping lanes. This kinetic escalation has pushed Brent crude toward $100 per barrel and triggered a massive flight to safety. The event invalidates recent diplomatic de-escalation narratives and forces a repricing of global energy and logistics costs. As the AI hardware trade unwinds, capital is rotating into nuclear energy providers to meet the surging power demands of data centers. Vistra and TeraWulf are seeing significant inflows, with TeraWulf reporting narrowed losses and rising HPC lease revenue. This sector is benefiting from both the AI narrative and the defensive rotation away from volatile tech hardware.
