Kpler's Bakr writes "Our experts don’t think Trump’s vessel escort idea will work as vessels will be heavily exposed to Iranian missiles. And even if they do manage to escort the vessels the cost will be too high."

The skepticism around Trump's vessel escort proposal highlights significant risks for maritime operations in sensitive zones, particularly regarding Iranian missile threats. If the initiative proves impractical or too costly, it may exacerbate tensions and impact oil supply routes, which could lead to volatility in energy prices and broader market sentiment across forex and equities. Traders should monitor energy markets closely for any price reactions reflecting these geopolitical risks.
