This assessment aligns with broader regional sentiment, where initial optimism regarding a potential ceasefire has given way to caution.

For global markets, the distinction between a pause and a resolution is critical.
Energy and shipping sectors, which have been volatile due to fears of Strait of Hormuz disruptions, may continue to trade at a risk premium.
