Hormuz Strait mined and blocked for months — buy big oil and energy funds

Iran has mined the Strait of Hormuz — a critical oil shipping chokepoint — and experts now expect supply disruptions to last through the end of 2026, even if the waterway reopens soon.

Idea

Roughly 20% of the world's oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has now mined large portions of it, and the U.S. Secretary of State has publicly condemned the move. Oil industry experts briefed OPEC+ that disruptions will linger through year-end regardless of any quick diplomatic resolution. That means a sustained supply squeeze is likely, which historically pushes crude prices — and the stocks of major oil producers — higher for weeks or months after the initial shock.
