Warren Patterson, Head of Commodities Strategy at ING, noted in a report: “Energy markets are having to price in the risk of a potentially prolonged disruption to oil and gas flows through the Strait of Hormuz, with no signs yet of de-escalation or the resumption of transits through this critical chokepoint.”
Since military actions escalated on February 28th, crude prices have risen by approximately 40%. Brent crude settled at $103.42 on Tuesday, marking its highest level since the outbreak of the conflict. There is widespread market concern that energy supplies will face even greater threats if the hostilities continue.
