Hormuz shutdown could last all year — load up on big oil before prices really spike

Iran has halted talks with the US and is threatening to fully block the Strait of Hormuz — a critical oil shipping route. Experts now believe the resulting supply disruption could last through the end of 2026, even if the waterway reopens soon.

Idea

One fifth of the world's oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran just threatened to shut it down completely. Experts are telling OPEC+ that disruptions will drag on through year-end regardless of any quick diplomatic fix. That means oil prices could stay elevated for months, which directly boosts profits for big producers like Exxon and Chevron. These companies tend to rally hard when oil spikes and have room to run if the situation escalates further.
