[Young journalist Siwon Lee]The US president Donald Trump has declared a successful negotiation regarding the Iranian War. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz that has paralyzed global energy production in February will highly impact the worldwide financial markets and international oil prices. 

On the afternoon of June 14 in the U.S. Eastern Time, President Trump announced that “The agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran has almost finished, as well as allowing a toll-free Strait of Hormuz.”, adding “To all shippings, start engines, make the oil flow.” 

As a result, the Iran war that started due to the joint attack from the US and Israel has finally ended after 106 days. The Iran Ministry of Foreign Affairs also confirmed the immediate and permanent end of military operation. Both nations will be holding the official MOU signing ceremony in Switzerland on June 19. President Trump has stated, “In addition to the agreement on Friday, after the elimination of mines, the Strait of Hormuz will completely open.”, alluding to the re-open of the smooth oil transportation from both sides. 

The main basis of this agreement is to extend the truce that has happened in April for 60 days and to halt the further attack, arranging another agreement of Iran’s denuclearization. Even though Israel's attack on Beirut heightened the risk of failure, the criticism of Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister and the strong urge by President Trump enabled the agreement. However, the media strongly criticized Iran’s nuclear program and the US lifted sanctions on Iran. 

The re-open of the Strait of Hormuz may lead to a decline in international oil price and macro risk mitigation, demolishing global oil production apprehension. The securities industry expects investment sentiment that has been weakened due to geopolitical risk to recover, as well as paying extra attention to the further impact of oil price decline on CPI and FOMC.
