๐จ Bessent (US Treasury Secretary) just issued a direct warning to Oman:
"The US will NOT tolerate any attempt to impose tolls on the Strait of Hormuz. Oman needs to understand this clearly. The Treasury will actively target anyone supporting toll collection in the strait. Cooperators will face sanctions."
This is huge for oil markets and geopolitical risk. Hormuz handles ~21% of global petroleum. Any friction here = supply shock potential.
Watch crude prices and risk-off sentiment. If tensions escalate, expect flight to safety assets. Energy sector and macro-sensitive alts could see volatility.
Stay sharp. Geopolitics always bleeds into markets faster than most think.
