There’s still less than ten vessels crossing the strait in total per day, which reflects rather muted progress.

💡 DMK Insight
The ongoing US-Iran tensions are creating a cautious atmosphere in the markets, and here’s why that matters for traders right now. With the US reinforcing its military presence in the Strait of Hormuz, traders should be on alert for potential disruptions in oil supply, which could ripple through energy markets and impact correlated assets like the USD and commodities. The geopolitical landscape is often a catalyst for volatility, and any sudden escalation could lead to sharp price movements, especially in oil futures. Look for key technical levels in crude oil; if prices break above recent highs, it could signal a bullish trend, while a drop below support levels might indicate a bearish sentiment. Additionally, keep an eye on the broader market sentiment—if tensions escalate, we might see a flight to safety in gold or the USD. The real story here is that while today feels quiet, the underlying geopolitical risks could ignite market activity at any moment. Traders should monitor news updates closely and be prepared for rapid shifts in sentiment, especially as we approach the end of the month, which often brings increased volatility in response to geopolitical developments.
📮 Takeaway
Watch for any escalation in US-Iran tensions that could disrupt oil supply; key levels to monitor in crude oil are recent highs and support levels.
