🚨 Energy shock hits global markets

Iran has reportedly targeted major oil infrastructure, including facilities linked to Saudi Aramco. Energy markets reacted immediately.

➡️ Crude oil jumped nearly 6% in a few hours.
➡️ Natural gas gained over 4%.
➡️ European gas surged 25% at the open
➡️ Dutch TTF moving above €38 per MWh.

The Strait of Hormuz, a key transit route for roughly 20 million barrels of oil per day, is now at the center of the risk. Any disruption there directly impacts global supply expectations.

Shipping costs are rising fast as insurers reprice risk. Some carriers are already rerouting vessels around Africa, extending delivery times and increasing costs.

Only a limited share of Gulf oil can bypass the Strait through pipelines. If disruption persists, supply constraints could tighten quickly.

Markets are pricing geopolitical risk. The next move depends on whether this remains contained or escalates further.
