Iran Foreign Minister Araghchi says in line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire, on the coordinated route announced by Iran

The declaration by Iran's Foreign Minister that commercial vessel passage through the Strait of Hormuz is open during the ceasefire period is significant, as it eases tensions in a geopolitically crucial maritime route. This move could stabilize oil prices and provide a temporary relief to energy markets, particularly impacting WTI and broader commodities, as well as influencing perceptions of risk in currencies such as the USD and EUR. Traders should keep an eye on how market reactions evolve regarding energy and FX assets.
