Escalating Middle East tensions, particularly Houthi threats to block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait amid the ongoing Iran conflict and effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz since February 2026, remain the dominant driver of trader sentiment. Iranian-backed forces have issued explicit warnings of closure in response to U.S. and Israeli actions, raising risks of combined chokepoint disruptions that could constrain up to 25% of global oil and gas flows and force widespread rerouting around the Cape of Good Hope. This dynamic has already lifted Brent crude above $110 per barrel while elevating war-risk insurance premiums and container freight rates. European naval task forces maintain readiness for potential attacks, yet no effective shutdown has materialized as of mid-May 2026. Key near-term catalysts include any escalation in the Iran conflict, U.S. policy shifts under the Trump administration, or fresh Houthi statements that could alter shipping volumes and energy price expectations.
