However, Houthi attacks on Saudi supplies remain a persistent risk, capping the downside. The development marks a potential de-escalation in a key chokepoint, though the ceasefire is unconfirmed and fragile.

While oil markets have reacted to hopes of a ceasefire and Hormuz reopening, Iran maintains a hardline stance on nuclear concessions and conditions for full reopening. The outcome remains uncertain, with details of any potential agreement unconfirmed.
