Why now
  • The closure is ongoing amid escalating U.S.-Israeli tensions with Iran, heightening geopolitical risk.
  • Current supply constraints have already tightened LNG markets and crude availability significantly.
  • Immediate market responses and policy decisions hinge on the duration of the Strait's closure.
Why it matters
  • The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for 20% of global LNG and over 11 million barrels per day of oil supply.
  • Prolonged closure risks triggering the biggest energy supply shock in decades with severe price spikes.
  • Energy market disruptions could force global demand adjustments, impacting economic stability.
