**Summary**: Donald Trump stated the U.S. has told Iran the ceasefire is ‘over,’ while mediators race to salvage an interim truce and oil prices are already up ~6% on heavy exchanges of strikes. This signals a breakdown in de-escalation and elevates the risk of further disruption to Iranian exports and to flows via the Strait of Hormuz.

## Detail

The key development is a clear political signal from Washington that the U.S.-Iran ceasefire framework is no longer in effect. Trump publicly stated that Iran requested continuation of talks and that the U.S. agreed, but emphasized ‘in no uncertain terms’ that the ceasefire is over. Parallel reporting notes mediators scrambling to salvage the interim truce, Qatar engaging in urgent de‑escalation in Tehran, U.S. efforts to restrain Israeli military action over fears of losing control of the conflict, and a roughly 6% move higher in oil prices following a heavy exchange of strikes.

Substantively, this indicates a transition from a fragile truce to an open-ended confrontation phase, even if channels for negotiation remain. The critical market angle is that risk of supply disruption from Iran and through Hormuz is structurally higher: traders will price an increased probability of (1) direct or proxy attacks on Gulf energy infrastructure and tankers, (2) U.S. naval actions that constrain Iranian exports or shipping insurance, and (3) further sanctions enforcement or tightening against Iranian crude and condensate.

On the supply side, around 17–20 million bpd of crude and condensate transit the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran itself exports on the order of 1.5–2.0 million bpd when sanctions leakage is high. Even a perceived 10–15% probability of partial disruption justifies a multi‑dollar per barrel risk premium. The immediate reaction—a 6% rise in crude—suggests markets are already repricing from a ‘ceasefire with upside risk’ regime to a ‘conflict with downside supply tail‑risk’ regime.

Historically, episodes such as the 2019 tanker attacks and the 2020 Soleimani killing saw Brent move 5–10% on escalation signals even without sustained physical loss. Unless there is a rapid, credible restoration of a formal truce, the elevated risk premium on Brent and WTI is likely to persist days to weeks, potentially longer if shipping incidents occur. Volatility in related assets—Gulf FX, EM credit, tanker equities, and energy‑sensitive inflation expectations—is also likely to increase. For now, bias is bullish crude and refined products, mildly supportive for gold, and negative for risk‑sensitive EM FX in the Gulf.
