Why now
- The Iran war and Strait of Hormuz closure are recent events causing ongoing supply uncertainty.
- Oil prices remain below $100 despite major supply disruption fears, indicating market complexity.
- Potential breaking point in weeks highlights urgency for monitoring geopolitical and market developments.
Why it matters
- The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil supply, so disruptions impact energy markets worldwide.
- Understanding actual lost exports helps gauge true supply risk and price volatility potential.
- Market buffers like China's import cuts and U.S. exports are key to preventing a sharp oil price spike.
