🛢️ Oil Market Shock
• Brent Crude: $91.89 (highest in almost 2 years)
• WTI: $89.62 ▲ +10.63%
The Strait of Hormuz, where 20% of the world’s oil passes, is nearly frozen:
🚫 Tanker traffic down 86%
🚫 706 oil tankers stuck or drifting
🚫 Qatar suspends gas and petrochemical production
🚫 Insurance costs exploding as ships refuse to sail
If the strait fully closes, Gulf countries reportedly have only ~25 days of storage capacity before forced shutdowns.
🌍 Global Fallout
📉 IMF Warning: The war could severely test the global economy.
🇪🇺 Europe: Gas prices jumped 93% in the UK.

⚠️ What Could Happen Next?
• Oil could surge to $90–$100+ in coming days
• Strategic reserves may be released globally
• If Hormuz closes long-term → 1970s-style energy crisis
US Energy officials say the Navy may escort oil tankers through Hormuz soon.
Iran’s president responded:
"Mediation should address those who ignited this conflict."
💡 Bottom Line
This war is no longer just about missiles and airstrikes.
It’s about oil, inflation, supply chains, flights, and the global economy.
Day 7 is over. The real question now is… how far will this spread?
