The main focus of the markets this week continues to be on developments in the Middle East. Last Friday, April 17, oil fell heavily on Iranian Foreign Ministry <a href="https://oninvest.com/article/iran-morgnul-pervym-cto-znacit-otkrytie-ormuzskogo-proliva-s-tocki-zrenia-politiki">statements</a> that the Strait of Hormuz was "fully open" to merchant ships. But over the weekend, the situation <a href="https://oninvest.com/article/gaz-v-evrope-podorozal-na-10-brent-na-7-posle-eskalacii-v-ormuzskom-prolive">unfolded</a>: the U.S. Navy fired on and seized an Iranian cargo ship, and Tehran accused Washington of violating the truce, which is due to end on Tuesday, April 21, and resumed the blockade of the strait, which led to a <a href="https://oninvest.com/article/gaz-v-evrope-podorozal-na-10-brent-na-7-posle-eskalacii-v-ormuzskom-prolive">sharp rise in oil prices</a>.

Oil and natural gas prices in Europe rose sharply, while U.S. stock index futures fell in early trading after the weekend due to increased uncertainty in the Strait of Hormuz. Over the weekend, Iran re-blocked the strait to commercial shipping, and the U.S. seized an Iranian-flagged ship for the first time since the blockade.
