Given the massive supply outage… the U.S. extended the waiver for Russian crude.

Day 11 of the ceasefire. A LOT of market confusing messages last night. Bottom line is Hormuz remains tightly constrained by Iran and blockaded by the U.S.

The Strait of Hormuz is only open via a route determined by IRGC and in coordination with IRGC under conditions set by IRGC — so, despite what Trump says, it is not actually open, and tanker owners will behave accordingly.

The U.S. naval blockade remains in place and the Iranians only allow transit in the Strait of Hormuz through a checkpoint in Iranian waters, so what has actually changed, if anything?

To be clear, Hormuz is not "completely open" if shipping has to transit through Iran's new route.
Completely open "for the remaining period of ceasefire" is also not enough time for many vessels to transit, should they opt to.

In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire, on the coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organisation of the Islamic Rep. of Iran.

Everyone is talking about Trump calling it the “Strait of Iran”🫣. Is it a typo? Freudian slip? Is it part of the “deal”?

🚨 SCOOP: The U.S. and Iran are negotiating over a three-page plan to end the war, with one element under discussion being that the U.S. would release $20 billion in frozen Iranian funds in return for Iran giving up its stockpile of enriched uranium. axios.com/2026/04/17/ira…

@thethoughone Mesye Ayiti yo koken vre wi, e mwen doute nou gen rezèv men fò gaz chè a finn vann anvan yo ka desann pri a,non?
Men pi gro kesyon an se èske nou ka gen konfyans nan nouvèl saa yo lage nan vandredi avan makèt fèmen? Anvan dimanch swa rive laa headlines yo ka diferan.

Strait Hormuz ouvè, pri gaz la down, S&P 500 tou vèt
Gouvènman pa ta sipoze ap nan tann manifestasyon pou desann pri gaz la
Si sitiyasyon nan Middle East la te eskiz pou monte l, nan moman la, desann li an trè apwopriye

BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market.
Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, a $760 million bet that oil would go down.
These orders were much larger than anything else at the time.
The traders made huge gains.
Unusual.

I see the headlines are not mentioning that a new route implemented by the Iranians is what ships will now use to go through the strait....i dont think the idea of a toll is shelved.

At 250 feet tall, Trump's arch would be the biggest such structure in the world. Asked last fall what this modern-day arch was meant to commemorate, Trump pointed to himself and replied, “Me.” @sbg1 newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…

Pakistan continues its efforts to mediate between the US and Iran, to avoid a return to the conflict which embroiled the Gulf and has closed the strait of Hormuz. PM Shehbaz Sharif has been in Doha to meet with Qatar's Emir.
