Strait of Hormuz shutdown could last months — load up on oil majors while crude surges

Iran has vowed to completely block the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping chokepoint, and industry analysts now expect supply disruptions to last through the end of the year — even if the waterway reopens soon.

Idea

The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly a fifth of all oil traded worldwide. With Iran halting talks and analysts forecasting disruptions lasting months, crude prices are likely to stay elevated or climb further. Major oil producers like ExxonMobil and Chevron earn more per barrel when prices rise, and their stocks have historically rallied sharply during sustained supply crises. The combination of a real physical disruption and no quick diplomatic fix gives this trade a strong tailwind through the second half of the year.
