The US announced that it will impose a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz starting at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday (10:00 p.m. Hong Kong time tonight). Goldman Sachs warned in a commentary that US equities have been drawn into a final showdown.

During the latest round of Middle East conflict, the S&P 500 recorded a maximum drawdown of about 9%, and it largely recouped the losses within days after a ceasefire announcement, in line with historical patterns. Before a negotiated agreement is finalized, however, the market's risk-reward profile remains unattractive before a negotiated agreement is finalized.

Although the current situation is still unresolved, the market has already rebounded to near historical highs. Technical indicators appear favorable in the short term, but without a comprehensive negotiated agreement, it is difficult to expect meaningful buying interest.
