About 20% of global oil supply has been disrupted for nine days due to closure of the Strait of Hormuz — the largest oil supply disruption on record, more than double the 1956 Suez crisis. Expect significant upside pressure on oil prices, elevated market volatility, and knock-on inflationary and supply-chain risks; monitor oil benchmarks, shipping routes/insurance costs, and regional escalation closely.
