Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Historically, disruptions at Hormuz have tightened near-term oil supply, lifting crude prices and pressuring consumer sectors. A sustained rise can boost energy equities, widen spreads for oil-services firms, and contribute to broader market volatility, as seen in 2011–2012 and 2019 disruptions.
