The deal between Shylock and Antonio will most definitely be a big plot point. However, it has not yet become a point of conflict, although it does set up a plot for it. Antonio, himself, states that there is no conflict with whether or not His ships will come in (Act 1.3, lines 79-80). The main conflict that is introduced in act is the one between Portia and her suitors. Although most of her suitors have decided go back to their homes and stop courting Portia, because of the risk to try to marry her. She is still uncertain as to whom will marry her. This will most certainly be a point of conflict throughout the play.
