The Strait of Hormuz June-recovery contract holds at 18.5% on Wednesday, net 2pp above Tuesday's opening low, as a 40-to-50-day mine-clearance timeline and 10-to-40x war-risk insurance surge outpace the 13 days left to resolution.

The Strait of Hormuz June-recovery contract held at 18.5% on Wednesday — net 2 points above Tuesday's 16.5% session open and at the ceiling of its 24-hour range — unable to push higher despite a signed US-Iran accord. Security analysts put optimistic mine-removal timelines at 40 to 50 days, a window that extends far past the 13 days remaining before June 30 resolution.
