Trump said the U.S. could leave responsibility for reopening the chokepoint to other countries.Meanwhile, the UAE has urged the U.S. and military in Europe and Asia to form a coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force and is prepared to support such an operation, according to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/uae-iran-war-strait-of-hormuz-9836ecbb">report</a> by The Wall Street Journal.

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.

USO, BATL, TPET Slide Overnight On Signs Iran Crisis May Be Ending: Analysts Say War Premium Fading, But Supply Risks Remain

Analysts said markets are pricing a fading war premium but warned supply risks remain if Hormuz stays constrained.

Wall Street is also coming off its fifth straight weekly decline amid energy-driven growth and inflation concerns.

West Texas Intermediate crude slipped about 1.03% to $101.82 per barrel, while Brent crude declined roughly 1.19% to $111.44 after both benchmarks recently climbed to their highest levels since 2022 amid concerns over disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz.&nbsp;The surge in crude earlier followed the arrival of additional U.S. troops in the region and the entry of Iran-backed Houthi militants into the conflict. The Strait of Hormuz, which typically handles roughly one-fifth of global oil flows, remains restricted to limited vessel traffic after Tehran formalized control of the artery and imposed transit fees.Two Chinese state-owned container ships were attempting to exit Hormuz on Monday, while Iran also attacked a Kuwaiti crude carrier near Dubai, according to Kuwait Petroleum Corp.

He also warned that if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened soon, the U.S. could target Iran’s electric infrastructure, oil wells and Kharg Island, which handles roughly 90% of the country’s crude exports.Despite those risks, Trump said Tehran has already accepted most elements of a 15-point U.S. proposal and agreed to allow an additional 20 oil ships to cross the Strait.Foundation for Defense of Democracies CEO Mark Dubowitz&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/mdubowitz/status/2038749526266151382">warned on X</a> that absent a deal, Iran’s economy is “headed toward collapse,” citing worsening macro conditions and infrastructure damage that have historically triggered protests during prior crises.Meanwhile, Powell said inflation expectations remain “well anchored beyond the short term,” adding that policymakers are not yet&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/jerome-powell-fed-iran-war-effects-not-facing-policy-decision-yet/cZERs6iRIN9">facing a decision</a> on whether to respond to energy-driven inflation pressures as the economic impact remains uncertain.&nbsp;Dan Greenhaus, strategist at Solus Alternative Asset Management,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/DanGreenhaus/status/2038693588704415927">said on X</a> that a 10% decline from the S&amp;P 500's highs is “a meaningful decline” that has historically often been a buying opportunity. “But the key variable is that none of those declines were commensurate with a recession (ex-COVID).

NY Fed President Says Increase In Energy Prices From Middle East War To Boost Inflation: Report

According to a report from Reuters, Williams however added that some of those effects would reverse later as long as oil prices retreated after the end of the war. 

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>The Fed Chair added that the central bank’s rate decisions have a lagged impact on the economy, so hiking rates now will not help tame inflation due to the war in Iran.</li><li>Powell added that while it is too early to assess the impact of the energy price shock on the U.S. economy, the Fed’s monetary policy is well-positioned to address it.</li><li>According to the CME FedWatch tool, the probability of the Fed keeping interest rates in the current 3.5% to 3.75% range throughout 2026 ranged from 76% to 97%.</li></ul>Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said during an interview at Harvard University’s Principles of Economics class on Monday that the central bank is not facing the question of the impact of the Iran war-induced oil supply shock yet, while adding that the Fed will be mindful of the broader context when it makes a monetary policy decision.“Inflation expectations do appear to be well anchored beyond the short term, but nonetheless, it's something we will eventually maybe face the question of what to do here. We're not really facing it yet, because we don't know what the economic effects will be,” he said, adding that it is too soon to know how the Iran war will impact the U.S. economy amid a rise in energy prices.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Powell Says Need To Monitor Inflation Expectations</h2>Powell noted that the Fed’s primary tool for controlling interest rates affects demand, not supply. He added that the rise in oil prices is a supply-side shock, while acknowledging that it could affect inflation expectations.“You have to carefully monitor inflation expectations because you can have a series of these supply shocks and that can lead the public generally… businesses, price setters, households… lead them to start expecting higher inflation over time,” he added.Last week, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development forecast all-items inflation in the U.S. at 4.2% for 2026, a sharp increase from its previous forecast of 2.8%. The global policy group cited the ongoing war in Iran and President Donald Trump’s tariffs as reasons for its increase in inflation projections.“The breadth and duration of the conflict are very uncertain, but a prolonged period of higher energy prices will add markedly to business costs and raise consumer price inflation, with adverse consequences for growth,” the OECD stated.It expects core inflation, which excludes energy and food prices, to be at 3% in 2026 and 2.4% in 2027.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Fed’s Rate Decisions Have A Lagged Impact On Economy, Says Powell</h2>The Fed Chair added that the central bank’s rate decisions have a lagged impact on the economy, so hiking rates now will not help tame inflation due to the war in Iran.“By the time the effects of a tightening in monetary policy take effect, the oil price shock is probably long gone, and you’re weighing on the economy at a time when it’s not appropriate. So the tendency is to look through any kind of supply shock,” he added.Powell added that while it is too early to assess the impact of the energy price shock on the U.S. economy, the Fed’s monetary policy is well-positioned to address it.According to the CME FedWatch&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html?redirect=/trading/interest-rates/countdown-to-fomc.html">tool</a>, the probability of the Fed keeping interest rates in the current 3.5% to 3.75% range through 2026 ranged from 76% to 97% across the remaining Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings this year.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Crude Oil Continues To Inch Up</h2>Crude oil prices gained on Monday, hovering above the $100 a barrel level.U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures maturing in May gained about 4% to hover around $103 per barrel.

Powell Says Fed ‘Not Really Facing’ Policy Decision Yet Amid Iran Oil Shock – Adds Central Bank Will Be ‘Mindful Of The Broader Context’

The Fed chair noted that the central bank’s primary tool of controlling interest rates has an impact on the demand side, not supply, and added that the rise in oil prices is a supply-side shock.

This resulted in the removal of nearly four million barrels of oil from global markets, leading to a rise in the average monthly crude oil price from $17 per barrel to $36 per barrel.Alan Greenspan, who was the Fed Chair during this shock, kept rates steady at an effective rate of 8.23% to 8.2% between January 1990 and September 1990, before beginning to lower them to 2.96% in December 1993.“So we have precedent for the market leaning heavily on the risk of higher rates, and demanding a sizable risk premium, even though the Fed ultimately cut rates sharply in that episode,” the firm stated in its note.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Crude Oil Ticks Higher</h2>Meanwhile, crude oil prices ticked higher on Monday to hover above the $100 a barrel level despite President Donald Trump stating that Iran has agreed to the 15-point ceasefire plan “for the most part.”U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures maturing in May gained about 4% to hover around $103 per barrel.

I must say, I’m more worried than the average person because of the dynamics of the war. It’s an asymmetrical war, and you now have four parties in the war, all of whom believe they’re winning,” he added, noting that this makes it more difficult to end the conflict.El-Erian also warned that he is starting to see a destruction of demand in other economies that can accumulate, while adding that there could be an impact on demand in the U.S. as well.
