Tehran/Washington: The world is currently in a state of extreme tension. The United States' 8 a.m. deadline for Iran to close is just hours away. The US has threatened a large-scale military strike if the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most important trade route, remains closed.
🌏 Why is the Strait of Hormuz Important?
This route is not only a matter of geography but also a nexus of the global economy:
Tijarat: Approximately 10–12% of world trade passes through it.
Energy: 20–30% of the world's Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and crude oil are supplied through this route.
Supply Chain: The blockage of this route means months of delays in shipping between Europe and Asia.
📊 Market Risks
If the current situation worsens, investors should keep an eye on the following sectors:
Energy Market ($WTI / $BRENT): Oil prices could see a sudden and significant spike.
Safe Havens ($XAU / $XAG): Whenever there's a threat of war, people invest in gold and silver. Bullish momentum is expected in these metals.
