AI insight

AI-generated

The Strait of Hormuz blockade directly threatens global oil and LNG supply, with ~20% of global oil transit. The U.S. military intervention signals potential escalation, but also a path to reopening the strait. Impact is global but concentrated on oil and gas prices, shipping insurance, and energy-importing EM economies. Iran's economic collapse adds to supply uncertainty.
