The killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini has sent oil prices surging 8% amid fears of Strait of Hormuz disruption, while natural gas rose 5%. Despite the geopolitical shock, markets have shown surprising restraint with gold barely moving and stocks only slightly de-risking. The muted reaction suggests investors are weighing broader structural changes in Iran's geopolitical landscape against immediate supply concerns.
