Context

The G7 statement, excluding the US, signals a heightened commitment to ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz and stabilizing energy markets. This could lead to increased oil supply from participating nations, which may alleviate upward pressure on energy prices and provide support for commodities-sensitive currencies. Traders should watch for potential market reactions in oil and related assets, as well as any shifts in geopolitical risk perception.
