While the recent signals of a potential "off-ramp" for the conflict have sparked a relief rally, market experts and supply chain analysts suggest that a full recovery will be anything but a straight line. The optimism is currently wrestling with the "reality gap" between diplomatic hope and the physical logjams at the Strait of Hormuz. Here is the breakdown of why volatility is expected to persist despite the positive headlines: 1. The "Ghost" of the Blockade The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed or highly restricted for weeks. Even if a peace deal were signed today, the "unclogging" of the Persian Gulf isn't an instant process. The Backlog: Hundreds of tankers and cargo vessels are currently idled or rerouted. Re-establishing the flow of 20 million barrels of oil per day (20% o

Technical Analysis of FTSE ST REIT Index (FSTAS351020) FTSE ST Real Estate Investment Trusts (FTSE ST REIT Index) declined sharply from 721.34 to 664.56 (-7.87%) compared to the previous update, marking a decisive breakdown below the previous support at ~695. Over this period, the index has transitioned from consolidation into a clear downside impulse within 2 days, with price slicing through prior 695 support that had held multiple times since Sep 2025, likely due to the volatility brought about from the Iran war. On the downside, the next key support lies around 622, which previously acted as a base during earlier cycles. If selling momentum persists, these levels are likely to be tested. On the upside, any rebound is expected to face strong resistance at ~695, followed by ~725, whe

This past weekend was actually the calmest in recent weeks. Markets had expected the U.S. to deploy ground forces to seize Iran’s Kharg Island, but aside from strikes on Iranian steel plants, there was little major action. Overall, it was relatively quiet compared to prior weeks. However, actions of this scale alone by the U.S. and Israel are not enough to resolve the current blockade of the strait. The real turning point will come when the strait is reopened—that’s when a fundamental shift occurs. At present, the Pentagon appears to be aiming to replicate the rapid success seen during the 1990 Gulf War, hoping to quickly resolve the blockade within one to three months. Whether that is realistic remains to be seen, and only actual deployment will provide answers. But if even U.S. ground fo
