Yemen's Houthis said they will impose a maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia, threatening Red Sea oil shipments as global energy flows are already restricted by Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
That's a great question, Brendan. I'm curious how exactly traders "price in" these risks before the actual blockades happen?

It's worrying how quickly these tensions can ripple through to the pump. If both the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz get squeezed at once, we're looking at some serious volatility. Do you think the markets have already priced this risk in, or are we in for a big shock?

This is such a heavy watch, but so important for understanding why prices keep jumping. The part about the Strait of Hormuz really puts the scale of the risk into perspective. Do you think these disruptions are becoming the new normal for energy markets?
