The ceasefire holds in name, but the Strait of Hormuz — a narrow passage carrying a fifth of the world's oil — remains a theater of tension, with mines laid and military vessels exchanging fire. Markets, like diplomacy, are waiting for a signal that has not yet come.

Higher oil prices will increase costs for gasoline, heating, and transportation. Consumers may face elevated prices for goods dependent on shipping and logistics. Weakening tech stocks could impact consumer electronics and services pricing.
