30% of global container freight would be delayed and face massive cost increases due to rerouting. Severe supply chain shocks and resulting inflation from skyrocketing shipping costs act as "recession fuel" for the broader economy. Short or underweight broad equities due to rising recession risks stemming from geopolitical trade shocks. Conflict resolves quickly, or the global economy absorbs the shipping costs without entering a recession.

10% of global oil transits the strait, and rerouting ships around Africa adds 40% to trip duration and millions in extra fuel costs. Supply constraints, delayed deliveries, and increased fuel consumption by the shipping industry itself will drive up global crude prices. Long oil as a direct hedge against Middle East escalation and shipping lane closures. The strait remains open, or alternative global oil supplies offset the logistical disruptions.
