  • Oil prices saw an uptick following a new wave of US strikes against Iran, raising tensions over the status of the Strait of Hormuz. While the US targeted Iranian capabilities to disrupt international shipping, Iran claimed the strait would remain closed.
  • In South Korea, shares of SK Hynix plummeted by a record 15%, reflecting investor anxiety over an overheated stock market. The Opening Trade provides insights into these developments as European markets begin trading.
  • The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, and any disruption can lead to significant price fluctuations. The US's military actions are part of a broader strategy to counter Iranian influence in the region.
  • The escalating conflict between the US and Iran could have significant implications for global oil supply, particularly if the Strait of Hormuz is indeed closed.
