Across the broader market, we are seeing a reversal of moves from the past month today. Trump announced a two-week pause in military actions to allow negotiations with Iran.

Even in the case of a ceasefire, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz may remain limited to 10–15 ships per day. This would imply continued bottlenecks and supply issues. Iran may also introduce fees and control over transit. This suggests that supply growth could remain structurally constrained.

Israel signaled that the ceasefire does not apply to its operations in Lebanon. Authorities appear reluctant to fully align with the US–Iran de-escalation process.
-
Iran confirmed that talks will take place in Islamabad on April 10. Pakistan is acting as a key mediator. The timeline indicates a narrow window to reach an agreement. The outcome of these talks will be crucial for the дальней course of the conflict.
