US President Trump said he was also expecting China to help unblock the Strait of Hormuz before he travels to Beijing, while he also stated that he may delay the trip but didn't say for how long, according to FT

Trump's comments suggest increased diplomatic efforts regarding the Strait of Hormuz, indicating potential impacts on oil supply and prices, especially if any developments unfold before his Beijing trip. The uncertainty around the timing of his travel may affect market sentiment, particularly in currencies and commodities tied to global trade and energy security. Traders should monitor how this evolves, as it could lead to volatility in oil markets and related assets.
