On Saturday the 20th of June, 2026, Iran announced closure yet again for the Strait of Hormuz...
The US and Iran have confirmed a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, ending a 3.5-month blockade that choked off roughly a fifth of global oil flows. Markets reacted fast.
Asian stocks surged as much as 5.7%, and Brent crude fell more than 4% in early Monday trading. The winners and losers are already taking shape. Airlines, hammered all year by sky-high jet fuel costs, are the most obvious beneficiaries. Tankers, the hot trade of Q1, face a sharp reversal. But this isn't a light switch, mines still need clearing, and infrastructure damage across the Gulf means the reopening will be gradual. So what does it actually mean for your money, and where should you be putting it?
