Kuwait declared force majeure on shipments of crude oil and refined products after a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz blocked some vessels from entering the Persian Gulf. The disruption is preventing Kuwait from meeting certain customer commitments and raises supply risk for regional energy flows. The event is likely to weigh on crude and refined product markets and could have broader implications for shipping through a key global chokepoint.
