The read
Treat this as one story, not four tickers. A prolonged Strait-of-Hormuz disruption doesn’t stop at gasoline — it reaches transportation, food, manufacturing, data-center construction, and your own event and program costs. The tell to watch isn’t the oil price itself; it’s whether Tuesday’s inflation print hardens the rate-hike expectation the bond market is already pricing.
What moves the board next
TUE · JUL 14
June inflation data. The single most important number this week — it either confirms or cools the tightening story.
THIS WEEK
Major bank & tech earnings. Guidance will show how companies are pricing in energy and rate risk.
ONGOING
Strait-of-Hormuz shipping status. The dispute over whether it’s “closed” is the swing factor — ASIG2 carries the OSINT watch.
