Trump pauses Project Freedom, Hormuz deal getting closer but still shaky.
President Trump announced a delay in the escort operations in the Strait of Hormuz to prioritize finalizing the deal with Iran. Despite some progress, on-the-ground sources report blockades and tensions remain high, with Iran continuing to assert control over this vital route.
WTI crude oil is currently trading in the $87.3–$87.8 per barrel range, slightly down but still elevated due to geopolitical risk premium.
In my view, this is a critical moment. If the deal actually comes through this week, we could see strong selling pressure in energy commodities and a risk-on sentiment. However, until there’s official confirmation and Hormuz is back to normal, volatility will remain high with potential for sudden escalation.
Are you seeing this as a short-term de-escalation signal or still preparing for a prolonged uncertainty scenario?
