Week nine of the Iran War and the Strait of Hormuz closure. In this week's market update we cover the growing risk of oil supply disruption, the first signs of flight cancellations hitting travellers, and what a diplomatic opening from Iran might mean for markets. Plus: a strong US earnings season, four of the Magnificent Seven reporting this week, and four central banks meeting simultaneously.
