Two months into a war neither side has formally ended, the Strait of Hormuz remains a chokepoint not just for oil but for the world's capacity to imagine peace. Washington waits for Tehran to answer a proposal that asks both nations to stop fighting before they begin talking — a sequence that sounds reasonable and yet, in the logic of this conflict, has produced only silence. The stillness is not absence; it is a form of negotiation, and the world's economy hangs in the balance of what it means.

Consumers face potential energy price volatility and inflation risks due to disrupted oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. One-fifth of global oil supply is threatened, likely increasing fuel and heating costs for households worldwide.
Governments may need to release strategic petroleum reserves, negotiate alternative shipping routes, impose sanctions/counter-sanctions, or increase military presence in the region. Central banks may adjust monetary policy in response to energy-driven inflation.
