EUROPEAN SESSION

In the European session, as it's usually the case for Mondays, we don't have anything on the agenda. Markets will likely stay rangebound or extend the risk-off moves that started on Friday.

The focus remains on the US-Iran stalemate as we enter the 12th week since the Strait of Hormuz got closed. Both parties remain adamant on their conditions, which raises the risk of a longer deadlock or even a resumption of hostilities.

AMERICAN SESSION

In the American session, we just have the US NAHB Housing Market Index. Housing data haven't been market-moving releases this cycle. The market is now more concerned about the length of the Strait of Hormuz closure and the Fed potentially being forced to hike at some point.
