U.S.-Iran ceasefire eases global shipping crisis. The two-week suspension of military strikes and Iran's agreement to allow safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will immediately relieve exporters facing severe disruptions. Freight rates and insurance costs, which surged due to regional tensions, are expected to decline significantly. The Federation of Indian Export Organisation confirmed the ceasefire triggers substantial market movements across oil, equities, and currencies. This geopolitical development addresses critical supply chain vulnerabilities that have pressured global trade and inflation. Reopening one of the world's most vital shipping routes restores stability to international commerce and provides breathing room for businesses managing elevated logistics expenses.
