A report that’s getting some of the credit for the bounce in risk assets is from IRNA and says that Iran has drafted a protocol with Oman for traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.Iran Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs confirmed the report but framed it more as housekeeping than some kind of war-ending effort. He said that even in peaceful conditions, traffic should be monitored.”Of course, these requirements will not mean restrictions, but to facilitate and ensure safe passage and provide better services to ships that pass through this route,” he said.The report says this is a post-war draft and aimed to prevent aggression in the future. I think if you’re buying risk assets on this, that’s grasping at straws and the S&P 500 briefly touched positive but is now down 15 points. It’s been a very volatile day already.Update: The report says Iran will set tolls for ships passing via Hormuz. That’s potentially better news.

💡 DMK Insight
The news about Iran and Oman is more than just a regional story; it could shake up global oil prices and risk assets. With the Strait of Hormuz being a critical chokepoint for oil shipments, any easing of tensions or protocols here can lead to increased market confidence. Traders should keep an eye on oil futures, as a positive sentiment could push prices higher, impacting correlated assets like energy stocks and even broader indices. If oil prices rise, expect to see a ripple effect across commodities and currencies tied to oil exports. On the flip side, if geopolitical tensions escalate, we could see a quick reversal, so monitoring the situation closely is key. Watch for oil prices around key resistance levels; a break above those could signal a stronger bullish trend in risk assets. In the coming days, keep an eye on any further developments from Iran and Oman, as well as oil inventory reports, which could provide additional context for price movements.
📮 Takeaway
Watch for oil prices around key resistance levels; any bullish momentum could impact risk assets significantly.
