🛢️ 1. Global Oil & Gas Supply: The Chokepoint Effect
The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most critical maritime oil transit chokepoint, facilitating the passage of roughly 20% of global seaborne crude (around 20 million barrels per day) and 20% of liquefied natural gas (LNG)—primarily sourced from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iraq, Kuwait, and Qatar.
Physical Bottlenecks & Disruptions: When the strait is blockaded or threatened, physical exports are stranded in the Persian Gulf. Alternative overland routes (like Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline or UAE's HABSHAN pipeline) can only handle a fraction of total volume, resulting in an immediate net loss to global daily supply.
Freight & Insurance Costs: Threats to commercial shipping spike war-risk insurance premiums for oil tankers and force maritime operators to detour around Africa. This adds thousands of nautical miles, delaying shipments and increasing freight rates globally.
Impact of Negotiations: Successful diplomatic talks or ceasefires instantly lower the "geopolitical risk premium" embedded in crude contracts, easing supply concerns and driving oil prices lower almost overnight.
