Iran Vows to Block More Hormuz Routes as Tanker Attack Risks Rise
Iran vows to block more Hormuz routes while attack risks for tankers rise.
What happened
According to Reuters, Iran has vowed to block more Hormuz routes, and attack risks for tankers are rising.
What it means for the Nasdaq and TQQQ
This is a shipping-and-oil event: threats to Hormuz routes can affect tanker traffic and crude flows. If oil and shipping risk feed into inflation and rate expectations, that channel can influence the Nasdaq-100. TQQQ, which moves about 3x the Nasdaq-100, can see those daily index swings amplified.
