So now the US Navy is currently on its way to also block the straight of Hormuz and the market doesn't react at all?

=== SUMMARY === - Post author is alarmed that the US Navy is reportedly moving to block the Strait of Hormuz, following Iran's blockade, and is confused by the market's lack of reaction. - Author's thesis: This dual blockade is a major economic disruption and a potential precursor to wider conflict (WW3), which should cause significant market volatility. - Quality assessment: Noise. The post is speculative, emotional, and contains no fundamental or technical analysis. It is a reaction to a headline. === SENTIMENT === MIXED (Author is bearish/panicked, top comments are neutral/dismissive) === TRADE IDEAS === No actionable trade ideas in this post. === COMMENTS SUMMARY === The community largely dismisses the author's alarm, with top comments highlighting that the market often reacts counter-intuitively, that the initial Iranian blockade was the primary event, and that policy uncertainty has numbed reactions. Several comments suggest the market's muted response is due to it being pre-market or that a significant drop has already occurred.
