A G7 reserve release can calm markets short term but cannot fully replace a major disruption. Global demand is about 102 mb/d, while Hormuz carries roughly 20 mb/d. Even an aggressive release offsets only a fraction. If exports stay constrained, Brent could eventually retest $110–120 despite temporary stabilisation.
Portfolio Pivot:
Markets are split. Some investors rotate into short-term Treasuries and energy dividend stocks for stability. Others are still buying the AI dip in names like NVIDIA, betting that AI capex momentum outweighs geopolitical noise.
Market Outlook:
If tensions ease, oil may settle near $85–95 and the NASDAQ Composite could continue its AI-led rally.
If supply risks return, oil spikes may pressure inflation expectations and pull the index toward ~17,000 before stabilising.
