Market Overview
The market backdrop remains dominated by the escalating kinetic conflict between the US/Israel and Iran. The Strait of Hormuz closure has shifted from a risk to a priced-in reality, creating a structural energy supply shock. Markets are repricing for persistent inflation and a hawkish central bank pivot, leading to a historic equity selloff and bond yield surge. The VIX is elevated at 38.23, signaling sustained high volatility. Oil prices (CL=F) are holding at elevated levels near $124.2, reflecting the physical supply disruption.
