Higher energy costs and geopolitical risk weigh on broader equities.
Global crude benchmarks climbed on Tuesday after Iran's Revolutionary Guards stated that naval mines halted three oil tankers navigating the Strait of Hormuz. The narrow maritime chokepoint handles roughly a fifth of the world's petroleum liquids trade, making any transit disruption an immediate catalyst for energy futures. Shipping insurers and tanker operators reported elevated war-risk premiums as vessels delayed passage pending security assessments. Equity markets showed caution while precious metals and energy producers attracted defensive inflows. Analysts warned that sustained shipping bottlenecks in the Gulf could quickly tighten physical crude balances in Asia and Europe.
