The US-Iran/Hormuz narrative remains in an escalation phase with no material change in the last 30 minutes. The Iran-Oman maritime understanding is still not finalized, and traffic remains near standstill. No new counter-signals or de-escalation developments have emerged. The tech/AI investment story (Nvidia, Alphabet, Berkshire) and Anthropic IPO preparations are unchanged from the previous cycle. Overall, conditions are stable with no new market-moving information.
