| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BRENT CRUDE | higher transit costs and route friction reinforce the geopolitical supply premium on Gulf crude | Up1-5d | the committee approved a draft article authorizing fees for shipping-related services through Hormuz |
| BDRY | added service charges and compliance costs usually strengthen tanker freight rates | Up1-5d | the draft explicitly covers maritime, insurance and security services for vessels passing the strait |
| QATARI LNG | LNG cargoes through Hormuz face exposure to higher transit and insurance costs, but the article does not specify a directional price move yet | Watch1-4w | the draft concerns all permitted transiting vessels rather than a specific cargo class |
