Iran Warns It Could Choke Off Hormuz Alternative Routes
A threat from Iran targets alternative routes through Hormuz.
What happened
Iran has warned it could block alternate paths through Hormuz, according to Middle East Online.
What it means for the Nasdaq and TQQQ
Threats around Hormuz can reach markets through shipping and oil channels. Disruption risk there can affect energy and freight costs, which can influence broader risk appetite. That matters for the Nasdaq-100 and for TQQQ, a fund that aims to move about 3x the index's daily return.
