US Military to Begin Hormuz Blockade, Markets on Edge



This is a major escalation.
The U.S. military is set to begin a naval blockade targeting Iranian linked ships at 10 AM ET Monday, following failed talks.

Not a full shutdown…
but big enough to shake global markets.

Why it matters:
~20% of global oil flows through Hormuz.
Any disruption → instant pressure.
Energy markets react first. Crypto follows.
Tensions rising.
Retaliation risk growing.
Uncertainty expanding.

This isn’t just geopolitics anymore
this is macro risk entering the system.

Watch closely:
Oil spike → inflation fears → risk assets pressure.
Liquidity tight.
Volatility loading.
Markets waiting.

Are we about to see a shock move?
