Analyst Dara Doyle said that the market interpreted the remarks of the new Iranian Supreme Leader Mujtaba Hameinay as quite hardline, with almost no signs indicating that Iran is ready to compromise with the United States and Israel. In his first public statement after taking office, he stated that the Strait of Hormuz should remain closed and threatened to open new fronts in a war. This has heightened concerns in the market about the continuous interruption of global key oil chokepoint supplies. US bond yields and oil prices have surged, the stock market has fallen, and the US dollar index has risen to a new intraday high.
