Iran Standoff Reshapes Global Energy Flows

• Tanker vessel crossings in the Strait of Hormuz have plunged to a 2-month low, indicating significant disruption.
• The US-Iran conflict is expected to continue as a 'cat and mouse' game for weeks or months, with no immediate resolution in sight.
• Market resilience has been attributed to redundant infrastructure, the release of strategic oil reserves, and a decrease in Chinese oil demand.
• Warnings are issued that these buffers are diminishing, making the global economy more vulnerable to future disruptions in the Strait.
