The market expects that they'll use military force to attempt to close the Bab al-Mandab strait, with their past attempts at closing the strait, stated goals of closing the strait and newly reported use of Claude to develop medium-range ballistic missile guidance software as evidence.

It's quite funny how Trump is killing European industry. Literally everything America has been doing the last few years has benefited China.
