Iran Strait Closure Forces Global Naval Coalition, Energy Markets Spike
Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz—which handles 20% of global crude—has prompted Trump to mobilize warships from China, France, Japan, South Korea, and Britain. Oil prices face potential 20% spikes if sustained, while 10-year Treasury yields jumped 20bps to 4.15% amid supply disruption fears.
This represents the first major test of global energy security infrastructure since 2019, forcing unprecedented multinational naval cooperation while exposing critical supply chain vulnerabilities.
