What happened

Well supportedReported by 103 independent outlets

Iran proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz and signed a Memorandum of Understanding to end the war following joint attacks by Israel and the US in October 2026. Despite these efforts, Iran's IRGC claimed two tankers were hit by mines in the Strait of Hormuz on November 11, 2026. Concurrently, oil prices have fallen sharply, while gold prices remain range-bound despite the oil decline, suggesting core inflation and the Federal Reserve's reaction function are carrying greater weight.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The ongoing geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, particularly concerning the Strait of Hormuz, directly influences global energy supply and inflation. Market volatility is also being driven by hotter-than-expected US inflation prints and hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve officials.

A preliminary U.S.-Iran peace deal was announced as markets monitored the Federal Reserve chair's views on inflation.
