On April 2, Rob Subramanian, the head of global market research at Nomura Securities, stated that U.S. President Trump announced that the U.S. would launch an extremely strong strike against Iran within the next two to three weeks, but did not provide specific plans on how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump’s speech did not send a clear signal to ease tensions as the market had hoped. Asian currencies may weaken against the dollar. If volatility occurs too rapidly, central banks may increase their intervention efforts, which could put upward pressure on government bond yields.
