If the Strait of Hormuz stays closed, oil doesn’t just rally, it enters a structural shock regime.
History shows every major spike, from the Yom Kippur War to the Iranian Revolution, was supply-driven. This setup looks closer to those than any recent cycle.
A move toward $150–$175 isn’t extreme. It’s consistent with past crisis repricing in real terms.
What makes this different:
• A key chokepoint for ~20% of global oil flows disrupted
• Years of underinvestment in spare capacity
• Fragile macro backdrop with elevated debt + sticky inflation
• Markets still anchored to “temporary disruption” narratives
If this persists, the playbook shifts:
→ Oil becomes the macro driver, not a lagging indicator
→ Inflation expectations de-anchor again
→ Central banks face a credibility trap
→ Global growth reprices lower, fast
This isn’t just an oil story.
It’s a liquidity event in slow motion, until it isn’t.
