Escalating U.S.-Iran tensions and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz since late February 2026 have heightened risks to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a critical chokepoint handling roughly 12% of global seaborne trade and serving as an alternative route for Gulf energy exports. Iranian-backed Houthi threats to disrupt the waterway, coupled with shipping lines like Maersk rerouting vessels around the Cape of Good Hope, have driven up freight costs, insurance premiums, and oil price volatility amid already strained supply chains. Market-implied odds reflect modest near-term closure probability, with September 30 leading at approximately 20%, as traders weigh sustained but not yet decisive enforcement against potential de-escalation. Key upcoming catalysts include further diplomatic developments and IMF PortWatch transit data releases that could trigger resolution.
