Amid the 2026 Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz closure since early March, Houthi threats to effectively close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait—a chokepoint for 12% of global trade and key oil/LNG flows—have embedded a geopolitical risk premium into commodities, driving Brent crude to near $115 per barrel and elevating shipping insurance rates. Polymarket's trader consensus prices an 18% implied probability for closure by May 31 as the leading outcome, downplaying near-term April 30 risks at under 15% amid ongoing transits despite reduced volumes and Cape of Good Hope rerouting. Sustained Houthi missile/mine capabilities remain untested for full denial, buoyed by US/EU naval patrols. Key catalysts include escalation in Yemen strikes or Iranian proxy coordination, potentially disrupting 7 million bpd of exports.
