Mumbai, April 8, 2026: Following Iran’s agreement to open the Strait of Hormuz and Trump announcing a two-week ceasefire. Pushkar Mukewar, Founder and CEO, Drip Capital has shared useful guidance for the SMEs:
“The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the ceasefire ease immediate pressure on global trade, but uncertainty remains. While supply chain and cost pressures may soften in the short term, trade flows will not normalize overnight. Insurance costs, working capital cycles, and buyer-supplier confidence will take time to stabilize, and much depends on if the ceasefire extends into a broader agreement.
For exporters and importers, especially SMEs, this reinforces the need for flexible and reliable trade finance. In a volatile environment, timely access to liquidity is critical to keep trade moving.
Businesses should focus on building resilience and diversifying into new markets to reduce risk and stabilize order flows.”
