Ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran have placed oil markets at the forefront of investor attention, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining a critical pressure point for global supply. In this environment, volatility has become the norm rather than the exception, as prices reflect not only physical supply constraints but also an evolving geopolitical risk premium.”Institutional Edge Q3 2026 is now available to institutional and professional investors via the ATFX Connect website.
