## Prediction

Within 30 days, sustained Hormuz insecurity and Russian product export cuts are likely to lock in elevated prices for crude, diesel, and LNG, feeding into transport, manufacturing, and food costs worldwide. Emerging markets and low-income importers will bear the brunt, prompting fuel-subsidy expansions, rationing, or social unrest in vulnerable states. Advanced economies may accelerate strategic stock releases and push for demand-side measures, including efficiency mandates and behavioral campaigns. Confirmation would be persistent high spreads, government subsidy announcements, and protests linked to energy prices; denial would follow rapid de-escalation in Hormuz and recovery of Russian product exports.

## Drivers

- Multiple alerts on Hormuz shipping risk and tanker damage
- Spreading Russian fuel shortages and potential export curbs
- Baltic push for tighter EU Russian oil bans
- Existing tightness in global middle-distillate and LNG markets
