The communication among BRICS countries has begun today, and so far there haven't been any effective results. However, China has indeed stepped in and expressed hope that Iran and the United States can return to negotiations. After all, the blockade of Hormuz has already caused China’s oil prices to start rising, and there is more than a 10% premium compared to Brent, not to mention that China is still the largest buyer of Iranian crude oil.

Oil prices have now caused the market to panic, and Iran currently has a typical attitude of dragging everyone down with it if it's going to die. I don't really want to comment on this attitude anymore, but it is making everyone, including the Chinese public, pay the bill. The extra money spent is almost coming from every pocket affected by Hormuz across the globe.

On a personal level, I oppose the United States and Israel initiating this round of war, but I also despise using the civilians and merchant ships of unrelated countries as tools for pressure. I can understand that Iran hopes to force the United States to stop attacking and lift the blockade through retaliation, and I can understand Iran’s unwillingness to make unilateral concessions. However, ordinary people who are burdened by rising energy prices do not have the power to decide this war. Expanding pressure to ordinary citizens is not appropriate.

Complaining aside, life must go on. I will continue to short oil, and I've resumed the dual currency trading today. I think $75,000 still feels quite stable, and perhaps next week the meeting between Iran and Gulf countries will yield some results, which would also boost market sentiment.
