Hormuz mined and blocked through year-end — load up on Big Oil for a long squeeze

Iran has mined the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important oil shipping channels, and experts now believe the resulting supply disruption will last through the end of the year — even if the waterway reopens soon.

Idea

About one-fifth of the world's oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz. With Iran mining the waterway and OPEC's own analysts projecting disruptions through December, oil supply will stay tight for months. That pushes crude prices higher, which fattens profit margins for big U.S. producers like ExxonMobil and Chevron. These companies historically rally for weeks after major geopolitical supply shocks, and this one has an unusually long expected tail.
