How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |

| CL=F | Persistently reduced traffic through a major oil chokepoint increases the risk premium on crude supply. | Up1-5d | UKMTO reported sharply reduced vessel traffic through Hormuz after multiple attacks. |
| NG=F | Attacks on commercial shipping raise the risk of disruption to Gulf LNG and LPG movements. | Up1-5d | The reported incidents included attacks on gas carriers and other commercial vessels around Hormuz. |
