The Strait of Hormuz reopens on paper. The shipping math still doesn't add up.

Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will be 'completely open' by Friday. Prediction markets give that about a 21% shot by month-end, because the diplomatic track is moving faster than the insurance, freight, and verification systems that actually decide whether tankers sail.

Desk note: Monexus framed the June 17 Hormuz reopening as a diplomatic milestone operating on a different timeline from the physical, insurance, and verification systems that actually move tankers; wire coverage, by contrast, has emphasised the announcement as a discrete event rather than the gap between the announcement and the underlying infrastructure.
