## Resource

Today on The Peak Daily , we break down the U.S. move to blockade the Strait of Hormuz and what it could mean for global shipping, oil prices, and markets. Then, we dig into the booming “annoyance economy” — the hidden fees, endless hold times, and cancellation hurdles that cost consumers billions, and how AI is making it worse. Plus, Viktor Orbán’s surprise defeat in Hungary, floor-crossing talk in Ottawa, Quebec’s new premier, and more. The Peak Daily is produced in partnership with reframevid.com
