The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime chokepoint, has created a persistent floor for global oil prices. This geopolitical friction is acting as an unintended catalyst for the electric vehicle sector. Investors are rotating into EV manufacturers like Rivian and Nio, betting that sustained high pump prices will accelerate the transition to electric transport. Rivian's 16% gain reflects this sentiment shift.
