## Resource

Imagine the global economy hanging on a calendar marked with just ten days. That is exactly where we find ourselves when discussing the volatile relationship between the United States, Iran, and the global price of oil. At the center of this high-stakes game is the Strait of Hormuz. It is a narrow, critical maritime artery through which roughly twenty percent of the world's oil flows. Whenever tensions flare, this strait becomes the primary driver of market anxiety. When a ten-day ceasefire is proposed, the world holds its breath, watching to see if the agreement will hold. If it does, that so-called geopolitical risk premium—the extra cost added to oil futures due to war fears—starts to evaporate, pushing prices away from the dreaded one hundred dollar mark. But if the ceasefire breaks, oil prices often climb with startling speed.
