Unfortunately, the statement offers little clarity to investors. Iran and Israel have not confirmed if they\u2019re on board with the plans. Reportedly, Iran has attacked at least three ships in the Strait of Hormuz since the new ceasefire announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The planet\u2019s most important energy corridor remains largely impassable, with Iran intercepting foreign vessels and the US Navy blocking Iranian traffic. On-off peace negotiations and a patchy ceasefire have somewhat reined in the oil shock, but Brent touched above $100 a barrel again on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final pre\u2011war tankers that slipped out of the Persian Gulf in late February have reached their destinations in places like Malaysia and Australia. Europe received the final shipments a week earlier. Saudi Arabia and the Emirates can move some of their oil via pipelines, but the majority is stuck behind the blockade. The International Energy Agency has estimated a <strong>peak supply loss of about 12 million barrels per day<\/strong>, amounting to <strong>11.5% of the global oil demand<\/strong>. This will likely continue as long as the strait remains closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shock is now spilling from charts to the real economy, with physical shortages already apparent in Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"632\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Chart_Oil-3-Months.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-241865 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Chart_Oil-3-Months.png 940w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Chart_Oil-3-Months-700x471.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Chart_Oil-3-Months-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Chart_Oil-3-Months-768x516.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 940px; aspect-ratio: 940\/632;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-split-between-paper-and-physical-barrels\"><strong>A Split Between Paper and Physical Barrels<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe price of oil\u201d quoted daily in the news is usually the latest Brent front-month contract, meaning the nearest futures contract that hasn\u2019t expired yet. This week, Brent has traded around $95-$100 per barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refineries don\u2019t run on promises of later deliveries. They have a constant need for the actual product. Forties Blend, a benchmark that follows spot prices of North Sea oil, has been trading as much as 50 dollars above Brent futures. <strong>That gap is a sign of stress.<\/strong> It shows refineries are willing to pay a steep premium to secure <em>physical oil<\/em> right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The physical market is pricing a world where barrels are scarce, logistics are broken, and the speed of recovery is uncertain. The Gulf exports via the strait have hit a near-total halt, and many of the oil production facilities in the region are badly damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jet-fuel-may-be-the-first-product-to-crack\"><strong>Jet Fuel May Be the First Product to Crack<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jet fuel is often the first refined product to feel pressure in an energy crisis, and this time is no different. <strong>Prices have more than doubled<\/strong> since the conflict began. The International Energy Agency says Europe is only <strong>weeks away from shortages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storing kerosene safely is very expensive, which is why airports don\u2019t hold big jet-fuel reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Europe\u2019s reduced refining capacity leaves it acutely dependent on imports<strong>.<\/strong> And the ones that still operate can\u2019t just turn up the dial. Kerosene comes from the same \u201cmiddle part of the oil barrel\u201d as diesel, so making more of one automatically means making less of the other. Similarly, making more gasoline reduces the amount of middle\u2011distillate material available for jet fuel and diesel. <strong>Refining is a complex process of compromises.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airlines in parts of Asia have already cancelled flights or scrapped some of the least economical routes, and European carriers may have to start similar measures by late May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The timing is difficult. The summer travel season is crucial for airlines. And it\u2019s not just holidaymakers that are hit. Air freight \u2014 which moves roughly a <strong>third of global trade by value<\/strong> \u2014 depends on steady kerosene supplies too. Travel stocks have proven surprisingly hardy in a crisis (and the wider stock market even more so), but pressures will mount as summer approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"941\" height=\"637\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Chart_Travel-industry.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-241866 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Chart_Travel-industry.png 941w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Chart_Travel-industry-700x474.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Chart_Travel-industry-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Chart_Travel-industry-768x520.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 941px) 100vw, 941px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 941px; aspect-ratio: 941\/637;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hidden-shortages-behind-the-oil-shock\"><strong>Hidden Shortages Behind the Oil Shock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oil grabs attention, but the Hormuz disruption is hitting a list of other essentials, often by-products of oil and gas production in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fertilizers:<\/strong> Urea, ammonia, and other key inputs are disrupted. This threatens crop yields, especially in Africa and Latin America.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Naphtha:<\/strong> A crucial material for plastics, adhesives, and paints. Japanese manufacturers are already feeling the strain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chip\u2011making materials:<\/strong> Much of the world\u2019s helium, bromine, and sulfuric acid comes from the Middle East. Tight supply adds pressure to semiconductor production.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Industrial CO\u2082:<\/strong> Used in meat processing and medical cold chains. The UK is already preparing contingency plans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the building blocks of food systems, electronics, packaging, and healthcare. If the Strait of Hormuz continues to be disrupted for months or even years, the global economy will feel huge <strong>inflationary pressures<\/strong>. As the pandemic showed, supply chains will adjust but not as quickly as companies, consumers, and investors may wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reopening-the-strait-won-t-end-the-crisis\"><strong>Reopening the Strait Won\u2019t End the Crisis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens, flows won\u2019t normalize quickly. Shipping data from Kpler shows there are about <strong>260 vessels laden with oil and LNG<\/strong> floating in the Gulf of Persia, waiting to exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the ceasefire holds and Iran allows it, these ships could provide the world with around 170 million new barrels of oil and 1.2 million metric tons of LNG relatively quickly. But shipowners and insurers need security guarantees. And beyond that, the Gulf oil and gas infrastructure is badly damaged and could, in some instances, take years to fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next few weeks will show how prepared countries really are. Europe faces a tight summer for fuel. Asia is already rationing. Airlines are adjusting schedules. Manufacturers are bracing for shortages of chemicals and gases they once assumed were always available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The global economy relies on a handful of strategic corridors, and when one of them closes, the effects ripple through farms, factories, hospitals, and households, eventually reaching us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to learn more about the commodity markets, download the free <a href=\"https:\/\/ibkrinvestmentor.com\/en\">IBKR InvestMentor<\/a> app: interactive lessons and fun, jargon-free explainers on everything finance-related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The final pre\u2011war tankers that slipped out of the Persian Gulf in late February have reached their destinations in places like Malaysia and Australia.
