Trump also warned the U.S. could “blow up Iranian infrastructure, including power plants,” if transit through the strait is not restored.Meanwhile, the UAE has joined calls for the UN to authorize action to reopen the route, while China and Pakistan urged safeguards for shipping.

However, the firm noted that the process could take weeks to several months.IG said any de-escalation is unlikely to quickly restore flows through Hormuz, which keeps the market tight and limits downside in crude.Priyanka Sachdeva, senior market analyst at Phillip Nova, said markets are already shifting from panic-driven buying toward more tactical positioning. “The market has already priced in major geopolitical risks,” she said, adding that further upside now depends on actual supply losses rather than threats alone.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Do Retail Traders Feel About Energy Stocks?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around oil was mostly negative, with USO, TPET and EONR showing ‘bearish’ sentiment amid ‘normal’ to ‘low’ message volume, while INDO registered ‘extremely bearish’ sentiment alongside ‘extremely low’ activity.

The Strait typically carries roughly one-fifth of global oil flows, and traffic slowed sharply after Iran mined the waterway and threatened tankers.Meanwhile, the USS Tripoli, the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, and elements of the 82nd Airborne Division have entered the region, with officials also apparently considering deploying up to 10,000 additional troops and a possible operation to secure Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Oil War Premium Starts To Fade</h2>Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management, said “the U.S. stepping back from physically reopening the artery means the market now has to price a world where the blockage lingers, but the war premium fades at the margin,” according to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tradingview.com/news/DJN_SN20260330016746:0/">report</a> from MarketWatch.&nbsp;Meanwhile, Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade, said an end to hostilities would support sentiment, but risks tied to disruption in the Strait remain significant. “The short-term view is that an end to the war would be a welcome development,” Waterer said. “But if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, this leaves global energy markets susceptible to further supply disruptions,” Bloomberg&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-30/stock-market-today-dow-s-p-live-updates">noted</a>.Garfield Reynolds of MLIV said “investors are seriously leaning into hopes for a path toward peace,” adding that now optimism is triumphing in the “short term at the least.” On the other hand, Dilin Wu, strategist at Pepperstone, said it was “premature” to read the latest headlines as a sign that the conflict is ending.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Fuel Prices Stay Elevated Nationwide</h2>Patrick De Haan, petroleum analyst at GasBuddy, said the most common gasoline price in the U.S. stood at $3.99 per gallon, up $0.3 from the prior week, while the national median price was $3.79 per gallon.California recorded the highest average gasoline price at $5.82, followed by Hawaii at $5.41 and Washington at $5.27, while Oklahoma posted the lowest average at $3.21, ahead of Kansas at $3.25 and Nebraska at $3.27.&nbsp;Diesel prices also remained elevated, with the national median reaching $5.25 per gallon, up $0.26 from the prior week, reflecting continued pressure across refined product markets as shipping disruptions in the Middle East ripple through global supply chains.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Do Stocktwits Users Feel About Energy Stocks?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward USO was ‘neutral’ amid ‘normal’ message volume, while INDO and TPET drew ‘extremely low’ message volume with sentiment ‘extremely bearish’ and ‘bearish’, respectively.
