Urgent Market Alert
The Strait of Hormuz is effectively blocked — 70% of vessel traffic stopped. Over 20% of global oil & LNG passes through here. This is historic.

Oil was
$73 Friday; Goldman projects
$130+ if closure continues — a 78% spike in 48hrs. Chain reaction: higher transport → inflation surge → bond yields spike → liquidity dries → markets tumble.
At risk first: tech (
$NVDA,
$AAPL,
$TSLA), small caps, crypto (
$BTC.X) & bonds. Safe haven? Gold is near highs. Energy & defense stocks could outperform.
Scenarios:
1️⃣ Strait reopens fast → markets recover (low probability)
2️⃣ Weeks disruption → oil
$100–120, 10–15% market correction
3️⃣ Full shutdown → oil
$130+, global supply collapse, S&P -25–30%, crypto -40%+
Markets open soon. Position accordingly.
